The new eco ‘milkman’ will deliver refills of everything from toothpaste to Tropicana

-Loop already operating in the US and France, and coming to Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan and UK.

-Brand-name groceries are delivered in reusable containers.

-The service has eliminated all single-use packaging from its deliveries.

 
Just for a minute, think about the shower gel you use. Or the laundry detergent, ice cream or fruit juice you buy. When you buy it, it’s yours – all of it. The contents and the packaging. But what if that wasn’t the case? What if you only borrowed or rented the containers, which were returned, rinsed, and reused time and time again?

That’s the idea behind Loop, which extends its operations with a UK launch in March. It’s an approach that echoes the heyday of the milkman – the daily doorstep delivery of milk and other perishables.

The Loop service was developed by the recycling company TerraCycle and currently operates in the US and France and plans to expand into Australia, Canada, Germany, and Japan as well as the UK this year. It was first announced at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos in 2019.
