Loop Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:LOOP) develops technology designed to address plastic waste by transforming discarded polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyester fiber into reusable raw materials. The company’s technology uses a chemical depolymerization process to break PET waste into its basic building blocks, which can then be used to produce new PET plastic and polyester products.
Loop’s process is intended to handle forms of PET waste that can be difficult to recycle mechanically, including colored, opaque, and contaminated materials. The resulting materials are marketed as suitable for producing virgin-quality PET resin and polyester products, including packaging, bottles, containers, and textile fibers. The company primarily pursues commercialization through strategic partnerships, technology licensing, and the development of commercial-scale manufacturing facilities.
Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Quebec, Canada, Loop Industries has focused on establishing partnerships and projects in international markets, particularly in North America, Europe, and Asia. The company was founded by Daniel Solomita, who serves as its chief executive officer and has led its efforts to commercialize the company’s recycling technology.
