Hi, we're Looply
We exist to empower communities to rethink waste and spark a behaviour shift. We use Looply as a hyper-local circular approach to extending the life-cycle of single-use materials to divert waste from the environment, landfills and incineration.
The Plastics Crisis
-
Looply was born out of a frustration with policy-change taking longer than we have and addresses a critical problem - the escalating plastic crisis plaguing our environment.
Londoners discard an alarming 66 pieces of plastic per week, resulting in 430,000 pieces monthly across the UK. 85% of these are soft plastics, including the weekly Hovis bread bags and Vinted delivery packaging. Traditional recycling methods are insufficient, with only 12% of plastic being collected and recycled, leaving the majority to end up in landfills or be incinerated, causing severe damage to environmental, ecological, and human health.
Our approach
-
Community
Our mission is to make sustainable practices tangible and inclusive by putting community at core of sustainable change. We believe we can spark change by starting locally.
-
Open-access
Open-access tools are key to a circular society, so we encourage you to create with our DIY cards! We also run workshops in London on upcycling non-recyclable plastics.
-
Circularity
We aim to contribute to integrating closed-loop material streams at hyper-local levels and empower businesses to engage with circular waste solutions internally.
