We are an innovation firm that helps global brands, retailers and manufacturers solve their most pressing material challenges.

The Closed Loop Center is an innovation firm that helps businesses solve their most pressing material challenges. We’re built on the principle that a world without waste is not only an environmental necessity, it’s a path to profitable growth.

We are part of Closed Loop Partners, which also includes one of the largest privately held recycling companies in the U.S. and a leading global circular economy capital management group.

Our services go beyond the work of consultancies and think tanks —we roll up our sleeves with business leaders to research commercial opportunities, design circular solutions and build cutting-edge initiatives in market.

Based in New York City and working with cities across the country, we partner with the world’s most influential companies to solve the material challenges they can’t tackle on their own.

“At Starbucks, we’re committed to creating a more sustainable future —one cup at a time. The Petaluma Reusable Cup Project opened up new possibilities for reuse in the U.S., guiding us with the insights needed to reimagine convenience and what it takes to scale circular solutions. By collaborating with Closed Loop Partners’ Center for the Circular Economy, we’re working to make each visit to our coffeehouses a more sustainable choice.”
