Close the Loop works with US manufacturers who produce high quality & unique recycled products. We are working to increase consumer confidence, awareness and demand for recycled content products and help grow markets. Finding new uses for old materials – help educate consumers to view our waste as a valuable resource, not as trash.
Close the Loop has recycled 7 MILLION pounds of tires for new & beneficial uses (rubber mulch for playgrounds, landscaping, equestrian, military use, etc), and over 100,000 lbs of recycled plastic. We are working to build the market for tumbled glass mulch, safe to walk on barefoot ~ getting people over their fear of glass, and other hard to recycle materials.
We offer educational programs in the schools to teach the children to care about the environment through our magic of recycling program. We have also organized a “Give & Take Day” in our community ~ a great opportunity for people to donate unwanted items that are taking up room in the home and garage, and reduce disposing of usable items to a landfill, all free of charge! Created newsletter, “The Loop”.
Sustainability Narrative
Our eco-friendly business can help create jobs, meet customers needs by reducing facility operation and maintenance costs by using more durable and long-lasting materials such as our recycled rubber mulch or timbers or plastic fencing made from milk jugs which never rots, while leaving the world a BETTER place for the generations to come.
Close the Loop does not charge the manufacturer anything to do the web design, catalog & brochure creation, sales, marketing & distribution. If we feel a product has potential in the marketplace, we usually will give it a chance online for at least a year at no cost to the producer. Close the Loop was built on the principals of the 3 P’s: people, planet, profit – We can help create & keep US manufacturing jobs, solve environmental problems & do well by doing good!
