About Close the Loop Group


Well positioned within the circular economy, Close the Loop Group consists of the merging of two secondary business groups- Close the Loop and O F Packaging and their subsequent divisions.

The combining of these two entities allows for end-to-end solutions across packaging and consumables to a variety of markets, with advanced innovation in product development, as well as end of life take-back and recovery systems for complex commodities to greatly reduce waste to landfill.

With a Founder-led Board and Management Team, Close the Loop Group are leading with deep expertise and ideally placed to execute on growth strategy. This includes key acquisitions of complimentary businesses as we continue to expand.

Our Specialty Products

Through O F Packaging, Close the Loop Group has been involved in the introduction of mono-based polymer solutions for soft plastic packaging applications, as well as award-winning innovations in re-useable pouch packaging.

Close the Loop Group intends to undertake mechanical recycling of plastics such as e-waste and post-consumer soft plastics, which are used to make rFlex™ (for injection moulded products) via a unique advanced manufacturing line.

Rigid plastics are pelletised and sold back to OEMs for use in new product manufacture.

Close the Loop has also developed TonerPlas®, a patented asphalt additive made from soft plastics and waste toner powder.
