Loop is an innovative reuse platform operated in France, the UK, and the US that partners with over 250 major brands to deliver consumer goods in reusable containers. Customers purchase products online or through partner retailers, pay a deposit for reusable packaging, receive goods in reusable tote bags, and return empty containers via courier for refilling. This model eliminates single-use packaging and reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to disposable alternatives. Loop represents a systemic shift toward product-service models where the packaging becomes a shared asset, directly supporting the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's New Plastics Economy initiative. The platform demonstrates how appropriate logistics infrastructure and return systems can enable massive-scale reuse at consumer convenience.
