Do-it-yourself and loop it back


Loop By the Yard is a reversible, textile-like material for a myriad of do-it-yourself projects. Available in 44 inch (112 cm) wide continuous yardage, each order ships with a prepaid envelope for returning scraps or the actual project (when no longer wanted or needed) back to MIO for recycling. Loop By the Yard is made from Tyvek®, a spun-bonded, high-density polyethylene non-woven. This material has been actively collected and recycled for decades. Today MIO is employing this existing recycling infrastructure to complete and test a closed recycling loop. Loop By the Yard can be cut, sewn, wrinkled, folded, pierced, hung or hemmed like a textile. It is durable, breathable and waterproof, making it ideal for a variety of indoor and outdoor projects.

More Juicy Details

Recyclable

Each order of Loop comes with a pre-paid envelope so that it can be returned for recycling. The spun bonded olefin is then recycled into plastic lumber for decks and other weather resistant outdoor and construction products.

Product Service System

Product Service Systems are systems where the services of a product, rather than the physical object are what the customer ultimately purchases. In the case of Loop by the Yard, MIO sells the utility of the material for do-it-yourself projects. The customer is sold the usefulness of the material, the envelope for returning the product once no longer needed and access to the recycling infrastructure.

Design

Loop is a product service system which provides customers the tools to close the recycling loop once the product's useful life is complete. Loop's fun design, durability and unlimited applications encourage re-use. An included prepaid envelope facilitates the recycling of the material.

Origin

Loop by the Yard is made, printed and recycled in the United States. The manufacturing facility was selected based on its practices and labor conditions.
