Oh wow, that's where my roommate works – I had no idea they were launching on Product Hunt today. This is such a great product, backed by a passionate team that really cares about reducing our usage of single-use plastic and protecting our planet.
Exciting business model, especially now that companies such as Unilever, Pepsi and more are on board with this, only thing that could disrupt it, is timing, it would need to be efficient, but I'm excited to give it a try!
Hey guys! Absolutely amazing concept! Would totally use it! When are you guys planning to come in United Kingdom! Good luck!

@rogentleman They have a deal with Tesco, so I'm guessing that as long as the pilot projects in Paris and New York go as planned, it will launch in late 2019.

This is the type of disruption our planet desperately needs right now. That being said, it's a good first step but equal thought needs to be applied towards shipping/distribution of products like this. Getting rid of single use plastic is fantastic - but shipping one off orders is still a problem. Planes emit a ton of pollution as well. If this could be done via a network of local sanitation/resupplying centers, this would be amazing.

I love this! Great idea and move towards less waste.
I could easily see this having some kind of discount for reusing the same containers (à la Starbucks and the discount for bring-your-own cup)
This looks like a really cool concept and I think I would probably use it. My only question is how I would go about refilling products that I use on a daily basis. How do I brush my teeth or wash my hair while I'm waiting for the new Loop package to arrive.

@jbaudanza My understanding is that you're sent two of everything you order the first time
