LooptWorks

Looptworks is an upcycling company, repurposing abandoned, pre-consumer and post-consumer waste to produce a selection of accessories, apparel, cases and more.

The average US citizen discards about 70 pounds of textiles each year as post-consumer waste. Additionally, the cancellation of product shipments and the presence of deadstock and fabric liability contributes to excess materials, termed as pre-consumer waste.

Looptworks intercepts these waste materials headed for landfills and acquires excess industrial materials, utilizing them to produce new, limited edition items. 

Through upcycling, Looptworks not only repurposes materials into items of high quality but also saves resources, energy and landfill space in the process.

Looptworks identifies and sources high-quality leftover materials from vendors. Following this, a product is carefully designed to not just create something from waste, but to create something beautiful. 

The items are then manufactured from the acquired scrap at Looptwork factories. Once produced, each item is sold with a Looptworks lifetime guarantee. 

 Looptworks has partnered with multiple brands to produce limited-edition upcycled items including:

• Southwest airlines, 2014: transforming 80,000 discarded leather seats into quality purses and duffel bags.
• Delta Airlines, 2018: repurposing about 350,000 pounds of retired uniforms into backpacks, travel kits, passport holders and other accessories.
• NBA team Blazers, 2019: upcycling old jerseys into duffel bags, backpacks, hip packs and pillows.

Looptworks offers a range of products from backpacks and holders to laptop cases. Items can be ordered through their official website. 

Each product comes with a lifetime warranty. Products are shipped internationally as well.
