At Sicloo we have great news: we have been recognised in the category "Best Biotechnology Entrepreneurship Project" within the Social Enterprise Awards 2026, an accolade that highlights initiatives capable of combining innovation, social impact, business sustainability and real transformation of the environment.
The gala will take place on 22 June 2026 at the Teatro Sofia in Madrid, coinciding with the 15th Anniversary of the Social Enterprise Awards. For us, this recognition represents a very important boost along the path we have embarked on: closing the organic waste cycle and demonstrating that what has traditionally been considered waste can become an opportunity to generate value.
Biotechnology applied to the circular economy is set to play a key role in the coming years. It is not just about managing waste better, but about understanding it as a raw material capable of giving rise to new products, processes and more sustainable business models.
At Sicloo we work precisely in that direction. Our project was born with the aim of transforming organic waste generated in the HORECA channel, especially coffee grounds, into high-value resources for regenerative agriculture and the bio-industrial sector.
Through a model based on selective collection, circular logistics, traceability and biotechnological innovation, we help cafes, hotels, restaurants and food businesses reduce the environmental impact of their daily activity. In this way, we make it easier for companies to move towards more responsible waste management and strengthen their commitment to sustainability.
Every day, the hospitality sector generates a large amount of organic waste that, if not managed correctly, can end up losing all its potential. However, through valorisation and transformation processes, this waste can be turned into new products that are useful for soil, crops and the agri-food chain.
One of Sicloo's main objectives is to give these materials a second life, transforming them into regenerative fertilisers, biomass and other circular resources. This approach makes it possible to connect the city with the countryside, reducing waste at source and contributing to improved soil health.
This award recognises precisely that vision: a way of understanding sustainability through action, science and innovation. Because the transition towards a real circular economy requires projects capable of moving from idea to practice, generating measurable impact in the territory.
The Social Enterprise Awards recognise business projects that generate value for society and for the company itself. In our case, this accolade focuses on Sicloo's ability to unite entrepreneurship, biotechnology, sustainability and social commitment.
Our model not only seeks to reduce the amount of organic waste that goes to waste, but also to help businesses better communicate their environmental commitment. For this reason, in addition to waste collection and valorisation, we offer tools such as the SICLOO Circular Seal and sustainability reports that allow the positive impact generated to be quantified and made visible.
For businesses in the HORECA channel, being part of Sicloo means moving towards more efficient, responsible management that is aligned with the new demands of consumers, institutions and environmental regulations. More and more customers value establishments that adopt genuinely sustainable, transparent and verifiable practices.
This recognition comes at a key moment for Sicloo. From Seville, we continue to build a decentralised, scalable circular bioeconomy model connected to the local territory. Our goal is to become an Andalusian benchmark in circular solutions for the transformation of locally sourced organic waste.
Andalusia has enormous agri-food, hospitality and business potential to lead new, more responsible forms of production and consumption. In this context, projects like Sicloo demonstrate that sustainability can also become an opportunity for innovation, differentiation and competitiveness for businesses.
Receiving the award for Best Biotechnology Entrepreneurship Project encourages us to keep moving forward, researching and collaborating with companies, universities, technology centres and organisations committed to the circular economy.
This award also belongs to all the people, companies and collaborators who trust in Sicloo and who are already part of this transformation. Every piece of waste collected, every establishment that joins and every new resource generated demonstrates that it is possible to change the way we produce, consume and manage our resources.
We believe the future will be circular, regenerative and collaborative. That is why we will continue working to transform organic waste into value, help businesses reduce their environmental footprint and contribute to a more sustainable economy from the local level.
The award is recognition, but also a responsibility: to keep driving real solutions so that the circular economy stops being a promise and becomes an everyday practice.
Does your company generate organic waste and want to be part of a real circular economy? At Sicloo we help you transform your waste into value.
Each cup of coffee generates a residue that normally goes unnoticed: the residues that remain after its preparation. In homes, cafes, hotels, restaurants and offices, this material is often mixed with other waste, making it difficult to use later.
In Sicloo we are in luck, we have been recognized in the "Best Biotechnology Entrepreneurship Project" category within the 2026 Social Enterprise Awards, an award that highlights those initiatives capable of uniting innovation, social impact, business sustainability and real transformation of the environment.
SICLOO offers Horeca channel businesses a service for the management, collection and recycling of coffee and organic waste
