Overview

Founded in 2000 by Rita Lacey, Close the Loop, LLC retails recycled products made from waste tires, recycled plastics, glass and other materials.[1] Headquartered in Kunkletown, Pennsylvania, the company utilizes recycled waste material remanufactured into plastic lumber, rubber mulch and glass mulch for landscaping, equestrian, and decorative uses.[2]

The term "close the loop" is a three part process: 1) recycle our waste, 2) make something new out of it, 3) buy recycled.
