We believe that businesses with innovative products and unique approaches are capable of changing people’s lives and making the world a better place than we found.
We developed LoopTas to solve one of the most important problems on the earth which is waste management, especially plastic. Our approach is to utilize already produced and discarded materials to produce Looptas shopping bags which can contribute to existing plastic crises and at the same time helps to create a better future. Together with you, we are ready to create a sustainable, circular economy that benefits everyone.

Don’t worry we got you covered. Easy and unique solution : “LoopTas”
From either partner shops or online. Pay a small deposit
Every time you go shopping, take the LoopTas. Also, tap your mobile on the bag to check all the information about the bag. (every bag is NFC enabled)
When you have more bags than you need or if a bag has aged out, you can return it and get your deposit back.
Wherever you go shopping or order food online, you either get paid plastic bags or free paper bags. Paper bags are never reused after the first use, and the ban on free plastic bags since 2016 has pushed us to pay for plastic bags whenever we need them. Every Dutch citizen uses an average 245 shopping bags per year. That’s 3.9 billion in total. That is a lot and also unnecessary. With Looptas’ circular reusable system, we take used bags, clean them, and put them back into use.Â
Our partnership with a Canadian-based organization called “plastic bank,” which has ethical recycling ecosystems in coastal communities (like Haiti, Brazil, Indonesia, the Philippines) and reprocesses the materials for reintroduction into the global manufacturing supply chain. Communities are compensated for the materials they gather, which allows them to better fulfill basic family necessities like groceries, school tuition, and health insurance. Collected material is reborn as Social Plastic®, which is then reintegrated into LoopTas.
