The Closed Loop Center’s Beyond the Bag Initiative launched the largest retail campaign of its kind to shift consumer behavior and reduce single-use bag waste, while our NextGen Consortium helped enable polypropylene cups to earn a “Widely Recyclable” designation. To further increase recycling capacity, Closed Loop Catalytic Capital & Private Credit deployed millions of dollars to innovative recycling technologies, like GreenMantra Technologies, and leading recycling facilities, like Superior Fine Grind.

Closed Loop Private Equity’s acquisition of Agri-Cycle expanded organics collection services across the U.S. To further support composting infrastructure, the Closed Loop Center’s Composting Consortium’s grants expanded composting access to nearly 240,000 U.S. households, while Circular Services expanded its end-to-end organics processing capabilities, from depackaging to anaerobic digestion and composting.

Closed Loop Private Equity identified the opportunity to advance metals and critical minerals circularity through domestic processing infrastructure, which led to their 2026 acquisition of Sutter Metals, a leading U.S. metals processor for industries like aerospace, automotive and electronics. This builds on previous investments in IT asset disposition (ITAD) and electronics supply chains, as well as Closed Loop Ventures’ investments in breakthrough technologies for metals and critical minerals recovery.

Fillogic—a Closed Loop Ventures portfolio company—continued to demonstrate its potential to transform apparel circularity by expanding reverse logistics systems for retailers. Their network of logistics hubs helps brands streamline returns, recover inventory faster and keep products in circulation through refulfillment, resale or recycling. This underscores how scalable reverse logistics solutions can integrate into apparel supply chains, reduce waste and enable more circular business models.

Building on an extensive impact and investment thesis on the resource efficiency of water and adaptation solutions related to extreme weather events, Closed Loop Ventures led a seed investment in LAIIER, an innovative technology company tackling water loss and inefficiencies in the built environment. LAIIER’s advanced sensor and cloud-based platform enables real-time detection of even the smallest leaks in commercial and industrial systems, helping prevent damage, reduce water waste and improve resource efficiency.
