What we like about Loop: This closed loop reusable container system is an alternative to single-use packaging. Loop is a good solution for food, cosmetics, and household cleaners sold online and in-store.
Metal bottles and jars
Refillable aluminum and steel packaging in an array of form factors.
-
Metal bottles with custom printing and closures available.
-
The most common metals used for packaging are steel, tin, and aluminum.
Metals are a nonrenewable resource, but the upside is that they can be recycled endlessly.
Metal can be more lightweight than glass, which reduces transit emissions. Plus it's not breakable.
It also has the water resistant properties of plastic.
-
Loop’s model depends on return and reuse, either through in-store take back or mail-in collection.
If disposed, aluminum should be recycled. Metals are endlessly recyclable without degradation in quality. Many metals are widely accepted for curbside recycling.
-
Limited form factors, but custom printing and labels are available.
Plastic bottles and jars
Designed to be refilled and reused.
-
A classic plastic container, but the beauty lies in the system, baby.
-
Traditional plastic is derived from fossil fuels which are a non-renewable resource. In the US, plastic has a 5% chance of being recycled.
However in the case of refillable applications, these impacts are minimized with continued reuse.
-
Loop’s model depends on return and reuse, either through in-store takebacks or mail-in collection.
If the plastic isn’t returned or reused, it may be recycled with other plastic bottles and jars, but the US recycling rate for plastic is only around 5%.
-
Limited form factors, but custom printing and labels are available.
