Advancing Circular Systems for Plastics & Packaging
At Closed Loop Partners, we envision a waste-free future for plastics and packaging. We need a system that’s consciously designed to use fewer materials in the production and delivery of products and that keeps materials in circulation at their highest value for as many generations as possible, if not infinitely.
Our Multi-Faceted Approach
Building a Circular Economy for Plastics & Packaging
Reduce the Extraction of Fossil Fuels
Utilize recycled materials over virgin inputs and develop climate-friendly alternative materials.
Scale Innovative Alternative Materials & Reuse Systems to Prevent Waste
Explore innovative alternative materials. Grow reuse, refill and resale business models to keep valuable materials in play.
Collaborate with Diverse Stakeholders
Work collaboratively with policymakers, consumers, businesses and others to encourage sustainable systems.
Invest in Recovery Infrastructure to Capture Materials
Optimize materials recovery facilities and molecular recycling technologies, among others, to capture existing plastic waste.
Sustain Markets for Recycled & Climate-Friendly Materials
Invest in company and product innovation that uses recycled or climate-friendly alternative materials.
