Customers can order products from a variety of companies that are shipped to them in returnable and reusable containers packed inside a reusable blue Loop container.
When the products are consumed, the containers are placed inside a similar Loop container, picked up by UPS or other package delivery service, and returned to the point of origin for re-use. Customers pay a modest service fee of the use of the Loop container
Recycling made easy by Loop’s delivery service, for the small price of a refundable deposit fee.

William McDonough’s pioneering work in Cradle to Cradle is finally heading into the mainstream.
