Loop Industries, Inc. focuses on depolymerizing waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics and polyester fibers into base building blocks. The company is headquartered in Terrebonne, Quebec and currently employs 50 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2012-09-27. The firm owns patented 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 suitable for use in food-grade packaging and polyester fiber, thus enabling its customers to meet their sustainability objectives. The company also intends to leverage the Infinite Loop Technology to expand into specialty chemicals and polymers through a product offering of lower carbon footprint recycled dimethyl terephthalate (rDMT), recycled monoethylene glycol (rMEG) and specialty polymers.
