Loop Industries describes itself as a technology company whose mission is to accelerate the world’s shift toward sustainable PET plastic and polyester fiber and away from our dependence on fossil fuels. Loop Industries owns patented and proprietary low-energy technology that depolymerizes no- and low-value waste PET plastic and polyester fiber — including plastic bottles and packaging; carpets and textiles of any color, transparency or condition; and even ocean plastics that have been degraded by the sun and salt — to its base building blocks (monomers). The monomers are filtered, purified, and polymerized to create virgin-quality Loop-branded PET resin and polyester fiber suitable for use in food-grade packaging, thus enabling its customers to meet their sustainability objectives.
