Clic Recycle Featured in “Shedding Value: When Hair Becomes a Climate Solution”

We're thrilled to be featured in Abhishek Agrawal's recent LinkedIn post, highlighting the innovative work of Clic Recycle and our mission to turn everyday keratin waste into climate-positive solutions.

Every year, millions of tonnes of keratin are discarded—often burned or sent to landfills. Clic Recycle is transforming this overlooked resource through a subscription-based collection model, helping salons divert waste from incineration and landfills.

The collected hair is then repurposed into low-carbon, biodegradable products, including:

• Mulch mats for agriculture

• Soft, sustainable yarns

• Oil-adsorbing nets for cleaning polluted waterways
  

By reimagining shed hair as a resource rather than waste, Clic Recycle demonstrates the power of circular thinking in action. Founded by Valérie Itey, our innovation is a concrete example of how creative solutions can tackle environmental challenges while creating value.

We're grateful to Abhishek Agrawal for shining a light on our work and for supporting the conversation around circular economy and climate solutions.
