Regeneraqua

Regeneraqua is a technology-based company that offers solutions for the treatment and recovery of wastewater from the aquaculture industry. Founded in 2017 by Luis P. Iglesias and led by CEO Mattia G. G. , the company emerged from the Research [sic] Group of Environmental Engineering and Bioprocesses of the University of Santiago de Compostela. The founding team combines expertise in environmental engineering and business development. The company has developed a patented technology called AN-Best (Anaerobic Bio-recovering System), which is a system for the intensive treatment of wastewater with high organic loads, such as that produced in aquaculture. This process not only purifies the water, allowing for its reuse, but also recovers valuable resources from the waste streams. Specifically, it transforms organic waste into biogas, which can be used for energy, and a stabilized sludge that can be used as a biofertilizer. This circular economy approach helps aquaculture facilities reduce their environmental impact, comply with regulations, and create new revenue streams from their waste products. Regeneraqua's business model involves designing, installing, and operating these treatment plants for clients in the aquaculture sector.

The company's achievements include receiving various awards and participating in acceleration programs like an equity-free acceleration from the Port of Rotterdam. They have been recognized for their contribution to the blue economy and circular economy principles.
