Loop Industries is a Canadian clean technology company that is trying to change how plastic is recycled. It has developed a chemical recycling process that breaks down low-quality and hard-to-recycle PET plastic — the kind used in water bottles and polyester clothing — back into its original building blocks. The goal is to sell those purified materials to large consumer goods and packaging companies looking to use recycled plastic in their products.

The company plans to make money by selling recycled PET plastic ingredients to manufacturers, but it has not yet reached commercial-scale production. Loop is based in Terrebonne, Quebec, and has been working on partnerships with major companies in North America and Europe to build out licensed facilities. With deeply negative margins and no meaningful revenue, the biggest risk Loop faces is whether it can successfully scale its technology from the lab to full industrial production before it runs out of funding.
