We Won KVK Innovation Promise 2025

Human Material Loop has won the KVK Innovation Promise 2025 in the Circular Economy category, one of the Netherlands' most prestigious recognitions for innovative entrepreneurship.

Facing strong competition from innovative companies across the Netherlands, Human Material Loop was selected for its technology that transforms discarded human hair into high performance keratin fibers.

Through ādara®, Human Material Loop turns an abundant biological waste stream into a new

industrial raw material for textile and interior applications.

Winning the KVK Innovation Promise is an important recognition of both the technology and its potential for industrial impact. It places Human Material Loop among a selected group of Dutch innovators developing solutions for the future of materials and manufacturing.

This award marks an important milestone in our ambition to establish human hair as an industrial raw material and create a new source of natural fibers at scale.
