ECOcero

ecocero.com ↗ ·Alicante ·Other

Spanish manufacturer of decorative acoustic panels made from recycled plastic bottles (about 75 bottles per m² of product), serving offices, retail, hospitality, education and institutional clients such as Inditex, H&M, Santander, Loewe and Hugo Boss in more than 20 countries. Founded in 2017 (concept originated in 2014) in Alicante; in 2026 growth-equity firm Suma Capital invested roughly €20M for a majority stake via its SC Sustainable Expansion Fund III to back international expansion, making this more a growth-equity deal than a classic VC round.
