Loop’s Generation II technology is more well-organised and productive than the Generation I process. It includes a considerable reduction in energy use and the complete elimination of water. The Generation II technology is a major step forward in sustainable plastic.
Loop is a leader in the PET and polyester fiber upcycling industry. The most remarkable change introduced in the Generation II technology is Loop’s decision to produce a monomer from which it makes Loop PET resin and polyester fiber from terephthalic acid.
Loop’s short-term prime concern will be large-scale commercialization of this Generation II technology to respond to the demands of brand owners who have committed to aspiring sustainability targets, which can now be achieved through the use of Loop PET and polyester resin.
With Generation II technology upcycling waste PET and polyester fiber will be cost effective, scalable and very efficient on a commercial scale. It will be possible to help divert even more waste plastic from landfills and help prevent it from ending up in rivers and oceans. This ground-breaking technology decouples plastic from fossil fuels by depolymerizing waste polyester plastic to its base building blocks. Loop branded polyester resin allows consumer goods companies to meet and exceed their stated sustainability goals and circular ambitions.
