Our values

These are the premises that define our mission and the way we have always operated.

People first

We create sustainable solutions that are available and accessible to every single individual by understanding their needs, and how we can help them transition to a more sustainable lifestyle with economically attainable products.

Besides consumers, we capacitate and provide businesses with tools to adopt circular economy practices and disrupt traditional value chains.

By guaranteeing a safe, human-centered and maximum quality circular channels, we’re gaining the public’s trust to change their consumptions habits safely.

Our enterprises

While embracing sustainability, social innovation, and technology as our main courses of action, the group is organized into three different companies.

Enterprise Solutions

We have a large software development and trusted IT consultants team with experts in various technologies that can help elevate your project to the next level.

Loop Circular

This sector is in charge of everything concerning circular economy and e-commerce. We created our own end-to-end operating system called LoopOS which monitors every step of the way, while certifying the products quality.

ZEROO Smart Packaging

In collaboration between The Loop co. and Loja Zero, our goal is to end single-use packaging and switch to reusable and digital packaging solutions.

Without our Loopers, we wouldn’t be who we are today. It is with that in mind that we constantly look for and recruit new talents, while also invest in their education and development.
