Residents of Reus will be able to purchase for the first time marmalade made from the city's public trees. 1,500 jars of this product will be commercialized at a price of 3.50 euros per 160-gram jar, covering production costs.
This initiative is part of a circular economy project, aiming to utilize the city's fruit trees, minimize waste, and transform the fruits into food.
Revenue from sales will fund harvesting, processing, packaging, and food quality control expenses. The goal is to raise public awareness about food waste, encourage community participation, and promote the use of urban tree fruits.
Over the past year, 3,775 kilograms of fruit from municipal trees were harvested through citizen participation initiatives. This effort also yielded 200 liters of olive oil.
