Since its debut, Loop has developed into the leading global reuse platform and is available in France, the United States and Japan.
TerraCycle and Loop have received hundreds of awards and recognitions and have been highlighted in some of the world's most recognized media outlets, including CNN, Wall St. Journal, Reuters.com, New York Times, Forbes, Time, and thousands of others.
