The facility is anticipated to begin construction in 2025, with plant commissioning to follow in 2027.
The decision to establish a commercial manufacturing facility in France was driven by several key factors including its rich collaborative landscape, with major brands such as Danone, L'Occitane en Provence, and L'Oréal championing sustainability and local recycling efforts. This ecosystem provides a strong foundation for Loop to work hand-in-hand with industry leaders committed to sustainable practices. Additionally, France's unwavering commitment to environmental protection and recycling make it an ideal location to deploy Loop's technology. Loop's innovative technology can play a pivotal role in achieving the sustainability goals of brands and aligns perfectly with the nation's vision for a circular economy.

With the support of our strategic partners and the Grand Est region, we are confident in our ability to accelerate the commercialization of Loop's technology and drive transformative change."
The visit of Mr. Franck Leroy highlights the significance of this project for the Grand Est region and for the global circular plastics economy.
