Your Home for Textile Circularity & Recycling: Looptworks
Looptworks has been pioneering circularity since 2009, creating a system that extends the life of textiles and reduces the need for virgin resources. Circularity isn’t just a buzzword here—it’s a way to cut down CO2 emissions, water consumption, energy use, and physical waste through fiber-to-fiber recycling. Simply put, it’s about building a better world for today and for the generations to come.

Innovative Recycling Solutions Across the U.S.
Looptworks works hand-in-hand with brands, municipalities, and industries nationwide to manage excess materials through cutting-edge recycling solutions. Their partners range from fashion and apparel brands to hospitality, medical, and waste collection sectors. By supplying circular fibers to clothing brands, spinning mills, and the non-woven market, they’re fueling a sustainable textile economy that’s gaining momentum.
State-of-the-Art Facility in Gresham, OR
The company recently opened a 90,000-square-foot facility in Gresham, Oregon—the first of its kind in the U.S. This hub offers both fiber-to-fiber textile recycling (circularity) and downcycling under one roof, maximizing the value of materials in their next life. It’s a game-changer for turning excess textiles into fibers that can be used to create new products.
Advanced Technology Meets Textile Waste
Looptworks utilizes industrial, pre-consumer, and post-consumer textile waste streams, picking up where others leave off. Their technology produces different circular fibers—spinning, staple, or nonwoven—depending on the input material. This means the fibers are fully recycled and truly circular. Plus, with automation, robotics, and AI, they’re constantly improving efficiency, capacity, and cost-effectiveness.

Extending Textile Life and Avoiding Landfills
Not every material can be turned back into spinnable fiber just yet, but Looptworks offers a vertical downcycling solution that extends the life of lower-quality materials. This approach helps companies avoid landfills and supports businesses designing products with circularity and end-of-life processing in mind. It’s all about keeping waste streams out of the landfill and finding zero-waste solutions for excess materials—because every little bit counts in the journey toward sustainability.
