Novoloop will be at the NW Materials Show
Booth 121 • August 28 & 29 • Portland, OR
• We're the Lifecycling™ company
At Novoloop, we envision a truly circular world where materials become building blocks, and hard-to-recycle plastics are remade into something better. We're on a mission to create a waste-free world, an infinite loop of possibilities.
Only 4% of all polyethylene bags and films are recycled today.
We transform linear plastic waste into circular performance materials
Our Lifecycling™ platform transforms non-recyclable plastics, such as bags and packaging, into performance materials with a small carbon footprint. We chemically alter the post-consumer polyethylene to create building blocks, which we use to make thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). This reduces carbon emissions by up to 41% compared to traditional methods.
​
Our Recycling+™ platform takes post-industrial manufacturing scrap to make enhanced compounds that are better than conventionally recycled materials.
By coupling these two platforms, we're enabling real polymer-to-polymer circularity in the performance category.

Circularity by Novoloop
The Lifecycling™ Platform
Virgin-quality polyol and TPU are made with post-consumer content at a significant COâ‚‚-eq reduction
Step 1
LDPE & HDPE
Waste Sourcing
When you throw away plastic bags or packaging (polyethylene), it eventually ends up in the city waste stream. Unfortunately, very little of post-consumer polyethylene is ever recycled. Novoloop works with partners in the waste recovery and recycling value chain to source polyethylene waste, the starting material for Novoloop’s Lifecycled™ products. Novoloop pays for the waste, generating an incentive to keep waste out of landfills, incinerators, or worse, oceans.
Step 2
Lifecycling™
First-of-a-Kind Innovation
We apply our revolutionary Accelerated Thermal Oxidative Decomposition (ATOD) technology to oxidize plastic waste, bringing it down to its molecular monomers, purifying, and synthesizing back into high-quality, good-as-new polyols that are normally produced from fossil fuels.

Step 3
Lifecycled™ TPU
Lifecycled™ polyols are then used to create Lifecycled™ TPU, a virgin quality drop-in resin optimized to meet the processing needs of thousands of everyday applications.
Post-industrial recycled TPU with performance modifiers to displace virgin, fossil-derived materials
Step 2
Recycling+™
​
We meticulously quality control TPU regrind
scrap and then optimize its properties through compounding to enhance consistency and performance.
Step 3
Recycled+™ TPU
​
Our new product line performs better than recycled and can displace virgin, fossil-derived materials. Recycled+ can serve as either the sole material or the primary component in manufactured products, delivering performance that closely rivals that of virgin materials.
Step 1
TPU Scrap Sourcing
​
Recognizing the unavoidable creation of post-industrial scrap in manufacturing, Novoloop systematically collects these surplus materials.
