In France, over 4,000 tons of hair are generated each year. Thanks to our partnership with Coiffeurs Justes, the leading historical hair collection network in our country, we contribute to the valorization of this underutilized waste.

The industrial extraction of Hair Keratin makes HKVOR a unique company in the world.

Sheep Wool

France has a sheep population of 7 million. These sheep are shorn once or twice a year for animal welfare and hygiene reasons. This shearing generates over 50,000 tons of wool, which is underutilized and often incinerated, releasing more than 90,000 tons of CO2 into our atmosphere.

HKVOR transforms underutilized waste into high-value products, achieving this with zero environmental impact.
