Since its establishment in 2019, THE LOOPS has been known as a leading one-stop door-to-door recycling centre in Hong Kong.

Waste problems are the results of resource misallocation. Currently, there is no effective way that allows people to give away their unwanted items and take back what they needed. In the end, many of these items go to waste even though some people in society need them.

Accepting more than 40 types of recyclable materials, The Loops offers the smoothest and easiest recycling path to both households and offices. Recyclables are collected right at the doorstep, sorted through, and then delivered to recycling factories for recycling, or shops for reuse.

Our employees are unemployed homemakers who come from the disadvantaged community. We provide them with a very family-friendly work schedule, as well as the options to work in their neighbourhood; in some cases, they could even work in the same building they live in. We believe this is a process of empowerment as it enables them to contribute financially to their families, and also socially to their communities.

While disposable packaging brings immense convenience to our modern daily lifestyle, it also creates the pressing problems of waste and pollution. Here at The Loops, however, our belief is that, since everything is eventually disposable in a linear economy, the problem is never what materials we use, but how we treat them after using them. After all, it is the afterlife of these materials that defines a circular economy and, thus, completes the Loops.
