Loop Industries, a clean technology company advancing the circular economy, has announced a multi-year offtake agreement with NIKE, Inc., the global leader in athletic footwear and apparel. Under the agreement, Loop will supply Twist, its virgin-quality circular polyester resin made entirely from textile waste, making Nike the anchor customer for the upcoming Infinite Loop India manufacturing facility being developed in partnership with Ester Industries.

The agreement marks a significant milestone in Loop’s commercialisation strategy and underscores Nike’s commitment to scaling sustainable innovation. Loop’s Twist resin—a fully verifiable textile-to-textile polyester solution—will help reduce Nike’s reliance on virgin and recycled flake polyester across its product portfolio.

Environmental Impact

The Infinite Loop India facility is projected to deliver meaningful environmental benefits compared to conventional, fossil fuel–based polyester. Once operational, it is expected to achieve an 81 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and enable annual CO₂ savings of up to 418,600 tonnes—equivalent to eliminating more than one billion miles driven by an average gasoline vehicle each year.

End-to-End Traceability

All materials produced using Twist will incorporate Loop’s proprietary chemical tracer technology, ensuring full traceability and providing Nike with verifiable proof of recycled textile content.

“Our agreement with Loop Industries marks a pivotal step toward transforming textile waste into high-performance materials,” said Sitora Muzafarova, VP Materials Supply Chain, Nike. “This partnership reinforces our commitment to scaling sustainable solutions that deliver environmental progress without compromising product excellence.”

“We are proud to have Nike as our anchor customer. This agreement is a major milestone for Loop Industries and Infinite Loop India,” said Daniel Solomita, Founder and CEO, Loop Industries. “Nike’s commitment validates our strategy of delivering verifiable textile-to-textile polyester resin and advancing circularity for our apparel customers.”

Commenting on the partnership, Arvind Singhania, Chairman, Ester Industries, said, “It is a privilege to support Nike’s global sustainability ambitions. This collaboration reflects the confidence leading global brands place in ELITe’s ability to deliver high-performance recycled materials at scale.”
