Loop CO2, inc.

Two weeks ago, our Co-founder and CTO, Jimmy Chiu, Ph.D., had the honor of presenting at the Corporate Venture Conference hosted by AIChE - American Institute of Chemical Engineers at mHUB . He shared insights on our circularity platform, highlighting our CO2 utilization technology, with the chemical VC community. The event offered invaluable insights through panel discussions and provided exceptional networking opportunities. Jimmy also met with a range of innovative startups working on decarbonization from various angles; let’s join forces to tackle the significant sustainability challenges ahead! A big thank you to Lucy Lyudmila Alexander and the entire committee for organizing such a remarkable event!

Our thanks go out to Worcester Business Journal and Eric Casey for highlighting this pivotal moment in our journey. Your recognition and support is instrumental in continuing our mission to transform carbon emissions into sustainable manufacturing materials.We look forward to creating even greater impact in our new Marlborough home.

Thank you Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives (MBI)! After two years in the lab space at MBI, we’ve graduated and moved into our new home in Marlborough, MA. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude towards both MBI and the Worcester Polytechnic Institute for accommodating us during our time there. The well-established lab facilities allowed us to push the boundaries of innovation, while the MBI team ensured that all of our needs were met. From day one, we felt supported in an environment designed to help startups like ours thrive and grow. Thank you, Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives (MBI), for being our root and providing the foundation for our continued venture.

Last August, Loop CO2 was selected for the DOE STTR Phase 2 Grant. This program has afforded us significant opportunities to grow our company and further develop our products over the past year. Below are just a few developments we've made in the past year, thanks to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) SBIR/STTR Programs

*Need your Support for Loop CO2* We aspire to be one of the "Start-ups to Watch" by Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN)! Our innovative work creating sustainable polymers by reacting CO2 and butadiene has the potential to revolutionize the specialty chemicals market and reduce overall carbon emissions from the polymer industry. Not just sustainably sourced, our polymers are environmentally friendly, requiring only mild chemical recycling conditions and promoting a circular carbon economy! But we need your help! If you believe in our mission and our impact, please take a moment to nominate Loop CO2 for this prestigious recognition. → Nominate Loop CO2 here before Aug 1st. https://lnkd.in/e5Y7Tg_N At Loop CO2, we take pride in our diverse and inclusive team, comprising more female technicians than male, and a workforce that embraces cultural diversity, including team members from African American, European, and Asian backgrounds. Our dedication to sustainability and innovation, powered by our skilled team, distinguishes us in our industry. Thank you for your support and belief in our vision for a greener future! #Innovation #Sustainability #Diversity #GreenChemistry #StartupsToWatch

We are honored to be a part of the 2024 MassChallenge U.S. Early Stage Cohort, among 128 entrepreneurs to have been chosen. We are grateful for the opportunity to be recognized among such incredible companies, and to have been selected from 1300 applicants.

Everyone is looking for the next best way to be sustainable. Well, we’ve got three! Our unique monomer and polymers are made using bio-butadiene and CO2, and their chemical recyclability enables us to achieve a circular economy! Visit our website loopco2.com to learn more. Connect with us to begin strategizing for your net-zero goals!

Loop CO2 is a sustainability-focused polymer development startup headquartered in Massachusetts. Founded in 2022 as a spin-out from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities & the NSF Center for Sustainable Polymers, Loop CO2 began its mission to revolutionize sustainable materials. Backed by the Department of Energy STTR Phase II & MassVentures Grant, and working in collaboration with UMN, we're committed to developing CO2- and biomass-derived products with chemical recyclability, biodegradability, and negative carbon emissions during production. Our vision? To significantly reduce the material industry's carbon footprint and promote the circular economy. Each year, over 400 million tons of fossil-based plastics are produced, resulting in over 1 billion tons of CO2 emissions from the plastics industry alone. At Loop CO2, we react butadiene with CO2 to synthesize custom polymers which require only mild chemical recycling conditions. By using bio-butadiene, we can achieve a carbon-negative process. Join us in driving forward innovation for a greener future! #Sustainability #GreenChemistry #Innovation
