Loop Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOOP) is a pioneering technology company dedicated to propelling the transition to sustainable plastics. Specializing in the production of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and ethylene glycol (EG), Loop Industries utilizes patented technology to transform low-value and waste PET plastic and polyester fiber into high-quality PET resin and polyester fiber. This innovative process includes using degraded ocean plastics, thereby promoting a circular economy and reducing the reliance on fossil fuels.
Loop Industries' core business revolves around its proprietary depolymerization technology, which breaks down PET waste into base monomers and repolymerizes them into virgin-quality products. Their branded PET resin meets stringent standards for use in food-grade and pharmaceutical packaging, as well as in cosmetics and polyester textiles.
Recently, Loop Industries announced a strategic partnership with Reed Management, a European investment firm, to commercialize its technology in Europe with a focus on high-impact and technology-enabled infrastructure projects. This partnership is expected to provide US$66 million in non-dilutive financing for global technology commercialization.
Further, Loop Industries has collaborated with Bormioli Pharma to unveil sustainable pharmaceutical packaging and formed a joint venture with Ester Industries to build an Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility in India. These strategic alliances are designed to meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions and specialty polymers globally.
Loop Industries continues to advance its mission through its Infinite Loop™ technology, which facilitates the recycling of the lowest quality PET and polyester waste into high-purity recycled products. This approach not only addresses environmental concerns but also helps consumer goods companies achieve their sustainability goals.
