The Center for the Circular Economy at Closed Loop Partners launched the Consortium for Small-Format Packaging Recovery, focused on advancing the recovery of small-format packaging by testing the Center’s latest findings in real-world scenarios across the U.S. The Center is inviting research-phase partners to join, while also expanding participation to brands across various sectors. This is a cross-industry challenge, as small-format packaging is used in beauty, pharmacy, foodservice, beverage, retail and beyond. If your company is part of the small-format packaging value chain—whether as a manufacturer, brand owner or other stakeholder—and is interested in joining the Consortium to Recover Small-Format Packaging to advance collaboration, recycling infrastructure investments and policy for nationwide recovery, contact the Center for the Circular Economy.

Closed Loop Partners' Ventures Group invested in ClearCOGS, leading their oversubscribed seed round to help transform restaurant operations and tackle food waste. Danielle Joseph, Managing Director and Head of Closed Loop Ventures Group, shares insights on why we invested in the company, a leading provider of AI-powered predictive analytics that supports restaurants and consumer-facing businesses in improving their operations and mitigating food waste. Today, food costs represent 30-50% of a restaurant’s total spending on average, yet large quantities of this food end up wasted due to misaligned production. By addressing operational inefficiencies within this supply chain, food retailers could gain a net benefit of over $5 billion.

Over two years ago, Closed Loop Partners' Center for the Circular Economy began to research what it takes to recover more small-format packaging, in collaboration with Maybelline New York, bolstered by the support of four additional partners—Kraft Heinz, L'Oréal, Procter & Gamble and Target.
