We are the generation
that will enrich nature
We believe that earth’s wisdom can guide us toward a positive-footprint. But how do we become one with nature again?
Our story
We live in a world where a dead tree is valued more than a living one. This prompted us to think, “What if we no longer work with lifeless materials but rather with living organisms?” During our graduation project at Delft University of Technology, we explored ways to collaborate with nature and leave a positive footprint. In the forest, we found our answers in mycelium, the underground root network of mushrooms and nature’s recycler. Mycelium is a magnificent organism responsible for converting dead organic matter into nourishment for nature – an example of nature’s ingenuity. What if we can become part of this loop of life, enriching the Earth and becoming a source for new life? We started Loop to restore nature and secure our planet for future generations. We strongly believe in the need for humans to leave a positive impact, both during life and beyond. Our approach is to, in collaboration with nature, naturally reintroduce nutrients into the cycle of life. Today we invite you to join our mission, to enrich nature together.

Positive footprint
Instead of polluting our environment with dead materials, we change the system by growing living materials that enrich nature.
Power of mushrooms
The future is here
Learning from the natural unique strength of mycelium, we were able to invent the first world’s first living coffin, the Loop Living Cocoon™, alongside the Loop EarthRise™ and Loop ForestBed™. Our products empower humanity to enrich life after death. In our growing facility in Delft, The Netherlands, we grow our 100% biodegradable products, from local mushroom species and upcycled hemp fibers in only 7 days. Our products enable us to enrich life after death and to leave the world better behind for future generations
Let’s close the Loop.
