ECO‑ONE Raises €765K to Expand Sustainable Solutions for Hotels Across Southern Europe
ECO‑ONE, the Valencia‑based sustainability and circular economy platform designed to help hotels reduce environmental impact and embrace more responsible operations, has secured fresh investment that underscores growing investor confidence in its business model and European expansion strategy. The company, founded in 2020 to provide a comprehensive sustainability solution for the hospitality sector, has built momentum over the past several years through partnerships with hotel chains across Spain and France and is now poised to accelerate its growth as it expands into new markets.
In a significant funding development announced in late 2025, ECO‑ONE raised €765,000 in a strategic investment round led by 3XP Global, a Portuguese investment firm with a focus on impact and sustainability‑oriented ventures. The capital injection represents a key endorsement of ECO‑ONE’s approach, which combines sustainability services, circular economy initiatives and technology‑enabled solutions to help hotels reduce waste, improve operational efficiency and build measurable environmental improvements. The investment from 3XP Global is intended to support the company’s ongoing expansion efforts not only within its established markets in Spain and France but also in Portugal, where ECO‑ONE has set up a new subsidiary to drive its European growth trajectory.
According to ECO‑ONE leadership, the entry of 3XP Global marks a “decisive endorsement” of the company’s mission and model, reinforcing confidence in its ability to scale and innovate amid increasing regulatory and consumer pressures for greener business practices. The funding is expected to accelerate key initiatives including product development, strategic partnerships and market penetration activities across Southern Europe. By aligning financial backing with its sustainability focus, ECO‑ONE aims to leverage this round to build stronger brand recognition and deepen industry adoption of its solutions, which include sustainability diagnostics, circular economy projects and tailored training programs for hospitality employees.
In addition to the participation of 3XP Global in this recent round, ECO‑ONE’s early investor landscape included backing from Eoniq.fund, a venture capital vehicle aimed at supporting pre‑seed and seed‑stage startups in Spain. Eoniq.fund’s involvement in earlier stages provided essential runway for ECO‑ONE to refine its platform and expand its service offerings. The support from Eoniq.fund helped the company build foundational partnerships with hotel chains and sustainability stakeholders, positioning ECO‑ONE to attract larger institutional investment later on.
ECO‑ONE’s platform has distinguished itself in the hospitality segment by offering what it describes as an “all‑in‑one” sustainability solution for hotels. Rather than focusing solely on one aspect of environmental performance, the company integrates multiple services into a single offering that helps hoteliers reduce carbon footprints, implement circular economy practices and engage staff in professional sustainability initiatives. ECO‑ONE’s approach has resonated within the industry; the company reports working with more than 2,300 hotels across Spain and France, and its training programs have been adopted by major hotel groups looking to embed sustainability into their operational cultures.
The business has also developed tangible circular economy projects, such as initiatives to recover and repurpose hotel assets instead of sending them to landfill, and innovation projects that link guest experiences to positive environmental outcomes. These efforts have not only helped partner hotels reduce waste and improve resource efficiency but also enabled ECO‑ONE to demonstrate the measurable impact of its solutions, an increasingly important factor for investors and clients alike.
The strategic investment from 3XP Global is expected to support ECO‑ONE’s broader objectives of professionalizing its internal infrastructure, further advancing its technology stack and expanding its footprint in international markets. With tourism and hospitality under growing scrutiny for their environmental impacts, sustainability services like those offered by ECO‑ONE are becoming more critical for industry players seeking compliance and competitive advantage.
ECO‑ONE’s leadership has emphasized that this funding round reflects a broader shift in investor sentiment toward companies that offer solutions with both financial viability and positive environmental outcomes. The involvement of an impact‑oriented investor like 3XP Global signals that firms with clearly defined sustainability missions can attract meaningful capital even as broader macroeconomic conditions remain challenging for early‑stage startups.
As ECO‑ONE prepares to implement its next phase of growth, the company’s focus remains on scaling its platform, deepening engagement with hotel partners and demonstrating the economic as well as ecological benefits of its sustainability and circular economy solutions. With new capital secured and a growing base of international clients, ECO‑ONE is well‑positioned to play a significant role in helping the hospitality sector navigate the transition to more sustainable business models.
