LOOP Upcycling
Loop’s mission is to reduce the 800,000 tonnes of textiles that Australian companies send to landfills each year and to create training and job opportunities for people experiencing barriers to meaningful and sustainable employment. Loop works with companies to develop unique and innovative programs to deal with redundant uniforms - diverting them from landfill and upcycling them into new products, giving them a second life.
