ABOUT LOOP Loop is a new way to shop, offering about 300 items - from Puget olive oil to Milka biscuits, Ariel detergent to Signal toothpaste - all in reusable packaging.

The containers are then picked up by a delivery service, cleaned and refilled, and shipped out to consumers again. In other words, it's the 21st century milk man - here to save the world from single-use plastics. Both TerraCycle and Loop have the following departments: Marketing, Account Management, Business Development, Operations, Customer Service, Finance and Public Relations. Depending on your skills, experience and interests you will carry out some or all of these support tasks.
