CLIC RECYCLE Wins Second Prize in the Green Business Category at the Startup Expansión Awards 2025


We are delighted to share exciting news with our community: CLIC RECYCLE has been awarded Second Prize in the Green Business category at the VII Startup Expansión Awards 2025.
This recognition, granted by one of Spain's most respected entrepreneurship awards, celebrates startups that are driving meaningful change through innovation, impact, and strong business vision. Being acknowledged among such remarkable companies is an honour—and receiving second place in the Green Business sector is a milestone that fills us with gratitude and motivation.
A Celebration of Innovation and Sustainability
The Green Business category highlights projects contributing to clean energy, circular economy, water management, pollution reduction, climate action, and environmental restoration.
For us, being recognised in this space is especially meaningful. At CLIC RECYCLE, we transform an abundant and renewable waste—human hair—into high-value regenerative solutions that restore soil health, protect ecosystems, and support a more circular future.
Seeing our mission resonate with the jury and the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem is an encouraging reminder that sustainability and innovation can (and must) go hand in hand.
An Inspiring Ceremony and a Remarkable Jury
The Startup Expansión Awards bring together leaders from across Spain's startup ecosystem. This edition featured a distinguished panel of experts who evaluated hundreds of projects based on criteria such as:
Strength of the value proposition
Level of innovation
Scalability of the business model
Achieved milestones
Social and environmental impact
Quality of documentation and execution
Being selected first as a finalist—and ultimately as the second-place winner—is a testament to the hard work, passion, and resilience of our entire team and network.
A Shared Achievement
This award belongs not only to CLIC RECYCLE, but to everyone who believes in our mission:
Our committed team, who push boundaries every day
Our partner salons, suppliers, and collaborators
The clients and communities who support circular innovation
And the individuals who trust us to turn simple ideas into transformative solutions
Your support fuels us. Your trust inspires us. And this recognition strengthens our determination to scale our impact even further.
Looking Ahead
Winning Second Prize in the Green Business category is a meaningful moment in our journey—but it is only the beginning.
We remain focused on expanding our regenerative technologies, empowering more sectors to adopt circular solutions, and demonstrating that waste can become a resource for climate-positive innovation.
Thank you for accompanying us on this path.
Together, we are proving that small actions can lead to big, measurable change.
