Collect, process and transform organic waste derived from banana plantations – pseudostems, leaves, and remains of unsold fruit – into value-added products, such as compost, bioplastics, paper or even raw materials for the construction or cosmetics industry. This is the objective of the Green Banana Ecosolutions business project, developed by Guillermo González González, a final-year student of the Business Administration and Management (ADE) degree at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, who has been one of the two winners, in the circular economy category, of the ULPGC’s Impulsa Talento 2024 Awards, an initiative promoted by the Vice-Rectorate for Students, Alumni and Employability with the sponsorship of the DISA Foundation and Banco Santander and the collaboration of the Canary Islands Maritime Cluster, which promotes innovation combined with sustainability among ULPGC students by promoting entrepreneurial initiatives and ideas related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
