Insights

Loop's partnership with Shinkong combines textile recycling technology with manufacturing expertise, creating a stronger circular polyester supply chain for global brands.

Loop Industries has formed a strategic alliance with Shinkong Synthetic Fibers Corporation that significantly strengthens their position in the circular polyester market. This partnership combines Loop's innovative textile-to-textile (T2T) recycling technology with Shinkong's established polyester fiber spinning capabilities and extensive distribution network reaching over 100 customers worldwide.

The core value proposition centers on Loop's °Õ·É¾±²õ³Ùâ„� branded polyester resin, which uniquely processes end-of-life textile waste into virgin-quality materials. Unlike conventional mechanical recycling that struggles with mixed textiles, Loop's technology effectively removes dyes, blends, and contaminants—a critical advantage when processing complex post-consumer textile streams.

This alliance delivers three key strategic benefits: First, it enhances Loop's commercialization pathway by integrating Shinkong's manufacturing capabilities, allowing Loop to offer finished polyester yarns rather than just raw resin. Second, it provides Shinkong with differentiated, high-value sustainable materials to satisfy growing brand demand. Third, it strengthens the planned Infinite Loop� India project by securing additional distribution channels.

From a competitive standpoint, this partnership addresses a critical gap in the circular textile economy—converting innovative recycling technology into market-ready yarns at commercial scale. By combining Loop's feedstock processing innovation with Shinkong's downstream manufacturing expertise, the partnership creates an integrated supply chain that should accelerate market adoption of circular polyester solutions among leading apparel brands seeking credible sustainability improvements.

  • Partnership formed to combine Loop's technology and Shinkong's spinning capabilities and distribution network.

  • Alliance with Shinkong will further enhance global growth opportunities for °Õ·É¾±²õ³Ùâ„�, Loop's textile-to-textile branded polyester resin for textile and apparel brands.

  • Loop can now offer high-quality circular polyester yarns made from °Õ·É¾±²õ³Ùâ„�, helping customers access next-gen materials more easily.

  • Shinkong can now offer °Õ·É¾±²õ³Ùâ„� textile-to-textile branded resin to its portfolio of over 100 customers worldwide.
