Star Metro - Loop Industries Secures Funding to Support Commercial Deployment of Proprietary Chemical Recycling Process for Hard-to-Recycle Plastic Waste

Supported through the NRC IRAP Clean Technology initiative, this multi-year project supports scale-up, engineering, operational efficiency, and deployment initiatives associated with Loop's proprietary Infinite Loop™ technology platform.

The non-dilutive funding will help advance Loop's proprietary technology platform and the Company's transition toward commercial scale deployment. The project also supports initiatives focused on operational readiness, commercial execution, and lowers overhead expenditures ahead of commercialization.

"This project will enable us to further validate our technology platform and scale-up strategy," said Daniel Solomita, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Loop Industries. "The support from NRC IRAP will help strengthen our operational and technical foundation as we prepare for broader deployment."

"By investing in companies that tackle pressing environmental challenges like hard-to-recycle plastic waste, our government is helping Canadian innovators scale promising clean technologies that strengthen our circular economy and move sustainable manufacturing closer to commercial reality," said The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions.

Tatiana Auguste, Member of Parliament for Terrebonne, Quebec added, "Innovations like those from Loop Industries remind us that the transition to a circular economy is not only necessary-it is achievable. By turning our waste into resources, we are taking concrete steps to protect our environment and build a sustainable future for all."
