Sustainability loops

A sustainability loop refers to a product distribution system in which a single company picks up and processes a client’s recyclable waste, creates a product utilizing recyclable materials, delivers the resulting product back to the client. Sustainable loop distribution, is notable in that it addresses sustainability within the context of the user of products and the distribution of them, allowing for a reduction in vendors, fuel use and complexity. Overall a sustainable loop lowers the cost of product and services to the end user.
Key practices
Similar to "closed loop recycling" which is an In plant industrial activity, sustainable loop distribution" dis-intermediates a full supply chain and delivers recycled or sustainable product in the same vehicle in which client recyclables are then picked up. Recycling services, recycled products, focused on library systems, universities, education.

Compared to recycling
