Closed Loop Partners is a New York based investment firm comprised of venture capital, growth equity, private equity, project finance and an innovation center. They invest in the circular economy, a new economic model focused on a profitable and sustainable future. The circular economy is the most significant restructuring of global commerce since the industrial revolution. It is an overhaul of how products are designed, manufactured, sold, refurbished and recycled. It is a framework for global corporations and start ups alike to reimagine capitalism in order to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and protect the environment they share. It is a platform to amplify opportunities for growth in a natural-resource constrained world.
