Looop
Imagine if you could drop off your old clothes at a favourite retail shop and collect new ones the next day, which have been made from the recycled garments. This is what H&M is already doing at a store in Stockholm, using a machine called Looop, which automatically sterilises and shreds any old fabric, turning it into yarn and knitting it into a new piece of clothing chosen by the customer. The process uses no water or chemicals and is finished within eight hours. Looop may be a gimmick for now, but it’s educating customers about the circular economy.
