Fund

In September 2025, Una Terra announced it had raised €50 million for its Circular Economy Growth Fund. The fund aims to accelerate solutions that eliminate waste and decarbonize industries through circular models. Its impact goals include removing one million tons of plastic waste, equivalent to around 100 billion plastic bottles, and avoiding two gigatons of carbon emissions.

The fund has already attracted backing from Italy’s CDP Venture Capital through its Green Transition Fund, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, Deutsche Nachhaltigkeit, and several family offices. A final close of the fund is expected in 2026, with additional investments in progress. The fund’s dual focus on superior investment returns and measurable environmental outcomes reflects Una Terra’s belief that sustainability creates economic value rather than adding cost.
