About Us

Terraloop was born from the dream of two families who envisioned a better, more sustainable world for future generations. United by a shared commitment to environmental responsibility, innovation, and integrity, they set out to create a company that transforms waste into value. As their vision took shape, a third family joined them, believing in the same principles and strengthening the foundation of what Terraloop represents today—a mission-driven company dedicated to reshaping the future of recycling.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a transparent, durable, and versatile plastic. It is also the most widely recyclable plastic. Opting for recycled PET instead of virgin plastic significantly lowers environmental impact —it cuts total energy consumption by 75% and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 65%.

Originally developed by the petrochemical industry over five decades ago, PET gradually replaced PVC in water bottles, making them nearly one-third lighter while ensuring safe use for beverages. With the growing accumulation of PET waste, the need for efficient recycling processes became evident. At Terraloop, we believe that plastic waste is not a problem, but an opportunity. This urgent need is what drives Terraloop’s mission: to bridge the gap between sustainability and economic growth, proving that recycling can be both profitable and essential for the planet.

We use cutting-edge technology and responsible production practices to unlock the full potential of recycled PET (rPET), reducing environmental impact while delivering high-quality products. Located in Santa Maria da Feira, Portugal, Terraloop is set to begin production in Q4 2025, positioning itself as a leader in the circular economy. Our team comes from diverse backgrounds, united by a common purpose: to redefine the way plastic is valued and recycled. By intercepting plastic waste before it harms our ecosystems, we are actively working towards a future where every piece of plastic finds a second life.

At our core, we are driven by sustainability, integrity, and innovation. We are not just building a business—we are creating a movement, inspiring companies, communities, and individuals to see recycling as a fundamental pillar of a cleaner, healthier world.

Our Vision

Our vision is a world where plastic waste is seen as a valuable resource rather than an environmental threat. We aspire to be a top player in the plastic recycling industry by embracing high standards for sustainability, innovation, and inclusivity. In the future we’re working to create, plastic waste will be a relic of the past, replaced by a resilient circular economy where materials are endlessly reused and repurposed. We envision communities, companies, and governments around the globe joining forces to reduce waste, conserve resources, and protect natural ecosystems. Our long-term goal is to contribute to a future in which every product has a sustainable end-of-life solution, transforming recycling into a cornerstone of every industry.By continually advancing recycling technology, enhancing accessibility, and inspiring widespread environmental action, we aim to make recycling a core pillar of every society and industry.
