OMG YEAAASSS!!! I hope this is successful! Cuz if it is please bring this service to Australia! I would love to use this cuz I hate wasting household products and would love to have the peace of mind that whatever container I'm using will be used again later.

These are great news! We are in urgent need of a shift in the way we consume, the paradigm today ignores so much the waste it generates that it drives me mad. PS: Impossible not to recall that this was something normal in the early days for some products, and still popular here (Argentina) for beer and "soda" (which is in fact not soda, but sparkle water siphons). PS2: Sweden has already in place a nice solution to recycle a lot of common packaging (I think that mostly bottles and cans) where you get the extra money you pay for the packaging back. I've just seen it as a tourist but thrilled me. If you are interested: https://www.thelocal.se/20180328...

Pros: Nice Idea to refill products that we use every day, like the Milkman back in the day. Reminds me of the MLM (Multi Level Marketing) Malaluka ( a company that needs more transparency). Cons: Common brands wasting our resources and creating resources that are not beneficial. 🍊 Enjoy your juice. Not.
Solution(?) Have clients refill at the grocery store. Less driving 🚚 = less pollution 🏭 . They are obviously not going to be driving EVs while doing this renewable service.

@jessehojjensen They do have European retail partners, but no US grocers signed on. TerraCycle (which runs Loop) uses UPS, which has a very green fleet compared to their competitors. It is actually more eco friendly for these vehicles to deliver your groceries, as it's basically like a bus (many goods inside and dropping off at multiple locations), compared to driving a car to get goods that were trucked to a big building (a store), which needs land, heat, electricity, etc.

Looks awesome! Wish they picked a better name though, literally can think of 3-4 other companies with the Loop name.

I signed up to check this out if it rolls out in my area. There are a couple things: 1. Will price (less deposits) be comparable? 2. Will more natural brands be added? Someone mentioned using natural products. I'm in that camp. I'd use this if I could start getting some of those types of products in a plastic-free way.

Fantastic idea! The only way real change will happen is if the big brands and corporations get on board so this is a real step in the right direction.

i would love to help or be a part of your delivery and pick up or help advertise or what you may need person! thx

Pros:

Cons:

people are lazy, need lots of coverage on this.

If you live in a major metropolitan area, this is GREAT! However, therein lies the problem for those who live in very rural areas (thus, are forced to do mostly online shopping). With all the deliveries, the shipping and packaging gets ridiculous. We sort and recycle everything we can (have to separate and haul to recycling trailer in nearest town) but even with that, there's still a lot of waste. *Not in any way is this meant to be derogatory against Loop--it sounds like a great concept, just making personal observation and being jealous of those who WILL be able to use it. :)
