Circular shopping platform Loop, which was launched last year by TerraCycle, is now available in every zip code in the 48 contiguous states. Since its launch in 2019 in the Northeast US and Paris, and, most recently in the UK in July, Loop has seen substantial growth in its brand partners and product assortment; there are now more than 80 brands and 400 products globally and more than 100,000 people signed up for the service. “Consumers across the country have urged us to bring Loop to them so we’ve scaled as quickly as possible to make that happen,” said Tom Szaky, founder and CEO of Loop and TerraCycle. With consumers shopping more and more online this year, the need for our sustainable, waste-free solution has become even more important." In the US, Loop consumers can order more 100 products from more than 30 brands in categories ranging from beauty to grocery to household goods with that assortment expected to double by year’s end, said TerraCycle. While available solely online today, Loop will be available in-store when it is embedded in its retail partners brick and mortar spaces in 2021, said the firm. Next year, consumers will be able to shop for Loop products in select Kroger stores in the United States. Also in 2021,Loop is scheduled to expand to Canada, Australia and Japan.

The annual coastal cleanup by the EU in Thailand announced the date for this year campaign to be 18 September 2020. For 2020’s location has moved from coastal clean up to be Bangkok canal clean up. Thai entrepreneurs with environmental motive will participate and inviting their fans to join this positive movement. The statement said: Save the date! The EU annual coastal cleanup campaign is back, and it will be bigger than ever! This year, we’re teaming up with Mahidol University International College – MUIC, TerraCycle Thai Foundation, กรุงเทพมหานคร โดยสำนักงานประชาสัมพันธ์, SOS EARTH, Little Big Green and เถื่อนChannel to triple our efforts to keep marine litter from our ocean. We also decided to begin the cleanup BEFORE the trashes make their way down the coastline.

TerraCycle Global Foundation, TerraCycle Thai Foundation, and Blue Carbon Society are joining forces to boost plastic collection and recycling in Lat Phrao by operating two river plastic capture traps on the canal for three years. Additional plans include working with the canal community and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to develop sustainable waste management systems. TerraCycle Global Foundation, TerraCycle Thai Foundation and Blue Carbon Society have signed a three-year memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collect and recycle plastic waste removed from the Lat Phrao Canal and to inspire action on other canals to reduce marine plastic pollution. Through the new partnership, TerraCycle Thai Foundation will operate two river plastic capture traps. These floating devices are designed to increase the amount of debris and marine plastics collected from Thai waterways. Using the traps, the waste will be intercepted and removed before it reaches and pollutes the ocean. The partnership will also establish education programs, improve data collection, and contribute to developing sustainable waste management systems in the region.

With an estimated 8 million tons of plastic disposed of in oceans every year, plastic waste in the world’s waterways has become a truly global problem. According to the Ocean Conservancy, over half of the plastic that ends up in our oceans come from five countries – China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam – a result of rapidly growing economies and consumer demand, which have not yet been met with sustainable waste-management systems. In recognition of this growing epidemic, international recycling leader TerraCycle created The TerraCycle Global Foundation. With generous financial support from The PepsiCo Foundation, the company’s philanthropic arm, the TerraCycle Global Foundation is a dedicated public charity on a mission to dramatically reduce the volume of marine debris and plastic waste found in the world’s waterways. Set up by Dr. Jwanwat and Mrs. Thippaporn Ahriyavraromp in 2018, Blue Carbon Society inspires action to conserve and restore coastal and marine environments vital to combating climate change. TerraCycle Global Foundation is building an international network of charities to work with communities in countries that create the most ocean plastic waste. TerraCycle Thai Foundation will operate 2 floating plastic traps at Lat Phrao Canal. The partnership will also establish education programs, improve data collection, and help develop sustainable waste management systems.
