Loop Industries Inc
Loop Industries makes technology for turning waste PET plastic and polyester into the raw materials used to make new plastic and fiber. Its process breaks down used bottles, packaging, and textiles into the building blocks for new PET, which can then be turned back into food-grade containers, fibers, and other polyester products. In simple terms, it is trying to close the loop between plastic waste and new plastic production. The company’s customers are mainly large packaging, consumer goods, and textile companies, along with industrial partners that need recycled PET feedstock or want to build recycling capacity. Loop can make money by selling or licensing its process, earning technology-related fees, and supporting partner projects that use its recycling method. That puts it closer to a technology and materials company than a traditional recycler that simply collects and resells waste. What makes Loop different is that it targets hard-to-recycle polyester and PET waste and converts it back into virgin-quality material rather than downcycling it into lower-value products. That matters because many brands want recycled content without sacrificing the quality or safety standards needed for bottles and textile uses. Loop’s role is to supply a chemical recycling path that can fit into existing plastic and fiber supply chains.

India progress: Loop said its India joint venture made major progress, including a memorandum of understanding with the government of Gujarat, lower expected project cost, and ongoing debt syndication.
CapEx cut: The initial India facility is now expected to cost about $165 million to $170 million, down from about $190 million, mainly due to FX, land savings, and procurement optimization.
Financing path: Management said banks have already provided term sheets and are now in technical due diligence; the targeted capital structure is 70% debt and 30% equity.
Europe moving: The European joint venture selected BASF Industrial Park in Schwarzheide, Germany and is entering engineering and permitting, which Loop expects will generate meaningful engineering revenue soon.
Liquidity and costs: Loop said it has enough liquidity through the end of 2026 and expects engineering contracts to fund back-office spending for the next few years, while overhead reductions are already producing savings.
Commercial visibility: Management said customer interest is strong, with Nike as an anchor contract and discussions ongoing with other brands; financing for India requires 50% offtake signed in minimum 3-year contracts.
Economics: Loop said current pricing and the lower CapEx support around a 45% EBITDA margin, with project payback still viewed as roughly 1.5 years to 2.5 years depending on pricing.
