Capillum

Heverton is extremely proud to announce it has acted as financial advisor to Capillum on its equity fundraising operation. The round was led by UI Investissement, with participation from Crédit Agricole and Super Capital.

About Capillum

Founded in Clermont-Ferrand Capillum is leading industrial innovation by transforming a common yet often overlooked waste product, human hair, into high-value, eco-friendly resources. With roughly one million people visiting hair salons every day in France, more than 4,000 tonnes of hair end up in landfills each year. By collecting and processing this abundant biomaterial, Capillum has developed an array of sustainable solutions, including:

• Biodegradable mulching systems that reduce plants’ water needs by up to 50%, harnessing hair’s natural nitrogen content to eliminate concerns around nitrogen deficiency and serving as an effective pest deterrent.
• Advanced fertilizers and depollution products, backed by four existing patents—fourteen additional patents are expected to be filed by 2026.

The company’s pioneering approach to hair recycling underscores its broader mission: to make France a global leader in the circular economy and environmental stewardship within the beauty and agritech sectors.
