Who We Are

Think outside the drum with the experts at Closed Loop Recycling.

Welcome to Closed Loop Recycling!

Closed Loop Recycling takes the standard definition of recycling and enhances, refines, and revolutionizes it. Since we opened our doors in 1995, we’ve committed ourselves to changing businesses, communities, and the world at large for the better. By improving your industrial cleaning supplies and processes, we help you make a positive impact on the world around you through recycling.

Our specialty lies with industrial textiles such as personal protective equipment (PPE)wipers, absorbent mats, and more. We supply you with all the assets you need to keep your workplace safe and recycle these assets when they’re used up, so you save money and the environment. Our core focus is to help companies achieve green initiatives such as Zero Landfill and ISO 14001 certification.
