What is Loop Industries?
Loop Industries, Inc., based in Terrebonne, Canada, is at the forefront of sustainable technology, specializing in the depolymerization of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics and polyester fibers. Their proprietary process breaks down materials, including plastic bottles, packaging, carpets, and textiles of any color, transparency, and even degraded ocean plastics, into their base building blocks. These monomers are then repolymerized into virgin-quality PET resins, suitable for food-grade plastic packaging and polyester fibers for textiles and apparel. Founded in 2010, Loop Industries aims to provide a circular solution to plastic waste, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating environmental pollution.
