Note: This article reflects Looptworks’ earlier work in upcycling. Today, we focus on textile-to-textile recycling, producing high-quality recycled fiber for manufacturing applications.

“You can use business for a force for good, and I’m just super proud of the work that our team does here” – Scott Hamlin, Founder and CEO of Looptworks. Looptworks is proud to partner with nonprofits that employ adults with disabilities and barriers to employment. One of the things I wanted to establish was to build these nonprofits into our supply chain and have them as business partners, and not just make donations at the end of the year if we have profit.” We have been awarded top 5% in the world of B Corps for Community. We have programs that we do with LeSalle and North Catholic High School with internships. We give volunteer hours to our employees — 2 hours a month — so they can go volunteer for things that they’re passionate about. We’ve set up a system where not only are we doing business, but we’re using it for good.”
