Impact thesis
By 2025, Closed Loop Fund aims to:
• Eliminate more than 50 million tons of greenhouse gas
• Divert more than 20 million cumulative tones of waste from landfills
• Create 20,000+ local jobs across the United States
• Save nearly $1.2 billion for American cities
First, we will prove replicable models that will help unlock additional investment in recycling by provide Zero interest for cities and below market for companies to maximize collection, sortation, and processing of recyclable material. These loans will attract conventional capital for co-investment and replication.
Second, we will enable the market to increase value for recycled content. By leveraging our unique network of the full recycling system -- from brands and retailers to cities and recyclers -- to enhance the systems that will support our investment strategy.
As a result, recycling will expand. We expect to track additional, more affordable capital attracted to the industry; scaled solutions that improve recycling system profitability; increases in recycled-content supply and usage; packaging designed to more recyclable; increased recycling access and rates and waste diverted from landfill.
Environment and society will benefit by reduced greenhouse gasses, creating jobs, and saving taxpayer dollars.
