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.
