Circular shopping program Loop which was first announced earlier this year at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, has officially launched their US pilot program in the Mid-Atlantic region. They’ve also announced their first US retail partners—Kroger, the country’s largest supermarket chain, and Walgreens, one of America’s largest pharmacy chains.

Kroger’s partnership with Loop is part of a continued effort towards their “Zero Hunger | Zero Waste” initiative that addresses hunger, food, and packaging waste by 2025. They even plan to remove plastic bags from all of their stores.

The closed-loop shopping program is the brainchild of recycling processor TerraCycle, and they’ve partnered with major consumer products companies such as Unilever, Proctor & Gamble, PepsiCo and Nestle, as well as retailers, and shipping and logistics company UPS.
