García Carrión 1890, SL has carried out industrial strengthening actions in the agri-food sector within the PERTE (National Program for the Promotion of the Circular Economy) to promote the circular economy through the project "New efficient aseptic packaging line to increase product shelf life" (ENVASEPTIC).

The project will develop a new aseptic packaging line (blow-filler-sterilizer-capper) for fruit juices and non-carbonated juice-based soft drinks for various bottle formats, which will be able to increase the shelf life or commercial life of the products produced, reduce the weight of the bottle and the generation of waste. In addition, this new line will make it possible to use 100% rPET thanks to weight distribution, and packaging using caps that are permanently attached to the bottle (solid cap). The new line will significantly improve the shelf life of the finished product, mainly because it allows for nitrogen injection, thus allowing filling in an inert atmosphere, which prevents product oxidation, which impairs its organoleptic characteristics and causes consumer rejection. The new aseptic line also has a more efficient sterilization system, even allowing pre-sterilization of the bottle preform, which will guarantee less microbiological contamination, which will also translate into a significant reduction in the food waste generated.

The project "New efficient aseptic packaging line to increase product shelf life" is a beneficiary of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) call for grants to promote the circular economy in companies for 2022, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), financed by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.

Project name: “NEW STRATEGIES FOR THE USE OF ORANGE PEEL AIMED AT THE PRODUCTION OF PREMIUM QUALITY PECTINS”

• Project number : IDI-20200708
• Beneficiary company: CITRICOS DEL ANDEVALO SA
• Place of execution: Huelva Plant.
• Start date: 03/15/2020
• Deadline: 09/14/2022
• Total budget: 510,493.00 EUR
• Funded budget: EUR 433,919.05 (co-financed by the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) and by the European Union through the ERDF Funds)

CITRICOS DEL ANDEVALO strives to maximize the utilization of its byproducts. Don Simón currently converts more than 200,000 tons of orange peel into value-added products such as pet food and essential oils. The company also has a project to manufacture a PET bottle from orange peel.

In line with this strategy, the current PECTINAS project aims to reuse orange peels , a byproduct of the juice production process, to extract high-quality pectin using environmentally friendly methods.

The aim is to research new sustainable pectin extraction processes that will optimize its quality and diversify its technological applications. The project also aims to design and develop a plant that will allow for the validation of the process's scaling, validating it in a first real pilot project.

Furthermore, the remaining residues from pectin production are intended to be characterized for subsequent application as biomass in the generation of biofuels.

Project name: “Application of bacteriophages against the pathogen causing greening in citrus plantations”

• Project number : IDI-20190738
• Beneficiary company : CITRICOS DEL ANDEVALO SA
• Place of execution : Villanueva de los Castillejos (Huelva)
• Start date : 01-09-2019
• End date: 04-28-2022
• Total budget: 513,673.00 EUR
• Funded budget: EUR 436,622.05 (co-financed by the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) and by the European Union through the ERDF Funds).

The objective of the PHAGEPROTECT project is to investigate possible solutions to prevent the destruction of citrus groves as a result of HLB (greening). To this end, potential bacteriophages will be investigated, isolated, and identified, establishing their persistence, distribution, and application formulation in orange groves. The ultimate goal is to determine the efficacy of the selected bacteriophages.

Currently, there are no known solutions to neutralize the disease once the tree is infected, so this project aims to be a milestone in the sector and will provide a competitive advantage not only for the company itself but also for Spanish agriculture in general.

Cítricos del Andévalo, located in Huelva, leads the consortium of Spanish companies for the development of the MIPLASCOE project , with the aim of manufacturing containers and elements for the railway industry from bioplastics produced by polymerization of monomers obtained by fermentation from orange peel.

As part of this project, Cítricos del Andévalo seeks to promote new processes and products to revalue the nearly 1,000 tons of orange peel it produces daily, furthering its commitment to zero waste and the circular economy.

The MIPLASCOE project, developed between Andalusia, Murcia, Toledo, and Valencia, began in July 2016 and ended in March 2019. It required a combined budget of approximately €2,228,555.00.

This project is co-financed by the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) within the ERDF Innterconecta Program, which aims to promote the generation of innovative capabilities through experimental development projects.

Cítricos del Andévalo, SA, producer of Don Simón orange juice, is currently carrying out the project " Design and development of an innovative process for storing orange juice pulp under aseptic conditions " at its Huelva plant. The main objective is in line with the company's strategic objectives: to continuously improve manufacturing processes to offer consumers the highest quality product, as well as to optimize plant performance and minimize its environmental impact, achieving maximum utilization and zero waste.

With a 30-month execution period and an estimated budget of €833,382, the proposed project's ultimate goal is to design and develop an innovative orange pulp preservation process that simplifies and disrupts the process and elements required for its storage.

This new method will also guarantee the asepsis and nutritional and organoleptic properties of the product, reducing oxidation while simplifying and reducing the costs of the production process.

This project is co-financed by the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) and the European Union through the ERDF Funds (IDI-20180714).
