Pioneering circularity since 2009

We’re a small and mighty team of apparel industry veterans helping businesses reduce textile waste by transforming excess materials into new fibers.

We Recognize the Problem and Are Driving Strategic Change

Looptworks is a Certified B-Corp textile-to-textile recycling specialist offering innovative, scalable solutions for brands and organizations worldwide. Based in Gresham, Oregon, Looptworks is the first and only recycling company in the United States equipped with a circular system capable of processing multiple types of textiles into a range of finished fiber products. The new Looptworks facility is fully operational and features a unique technology that transforms pre-and post-consumer textiles into high-quality recycled fibers. Our process starts where others end.

Meet the Team Designing an End to Waste

In 2009, Looptworks launched a mission to recover some of the 17 million pounds of excess textiles from landfills and transform them into new materials. As a team of apparel industry veterans from Nike, Adidas, Jockey, Foot Locker, Royal Robbins, Columbia Sportswear, and Champs Sports, we’d seen the fashion waste problem firsthand.

Today, we’re channeling our 200 years of combined experience into designing closed-loop solutions that protect the air, water, and land we share.
