Loop Sustainability Program Now Available Through Walmart InHome in Select Cities

Walmart Inc. and Loop—the circular reuse platform developed by TerraCycle—have partnered for Walmart’s InHome grocery delivery service in select cities. Beginning today, customers in the metro areas of Bentonville and Rogers in Arkansas can purchase a limited assortment of products in refillable, reusable containers and have them delivered to their home through Walmart+ InHome. 
 
The new Loop assortment includes a combination of well-known food and household products from a range of brands including Gillette, Clorox, Cascade, Kraft Heinz, Seventh Generation and Love Beauty and Planet. More brands will be added to the Loop product portfolio in the coming months. 
 
Consumers can visit www.inhome.walmart.com to sign up for a 30-day free trial as well. 
 

Eliminating Packaging & Single-Use Plastics

Loop is one of the first platforms to partner with brands and retailers to offer consumers a way to go from single-use packaging to one that is reusable, said the company. After consumers use the products, they place the empty containers in a designated spot inside or outside their home for a Walmart associate to retrieve them. From there, the containers are sent to Loop to be sanitized, then returned to participating brands to be refilled and returned to the store for future purchase. 
 
“Identifying models that can make shopping easy, convenient, affordable and sustainable is a core part of how we pursue our commitment to becoming a regenerative business at Walmart. By leaning into reuse with Loop and so many of our brand partners, we see a unique opportunity to help our customers eliminate packaging and single use plastic from many of their regular purchases,” said Corey Bender, Vice President, Merchandising for Household Essentials, Walmart U.S. 
 
“Loop was designed from the ground-up to reinvent the way we consume by learning from historic circular and sustainable models, while honoring the convenience afforded by our single-use consumption of today,” said Tom Szaky, founder and CEO of Loop and TerraCycle. “Walmart and Loop have come together to create a simple and convenient way to enjoy a wide range of products, customized in brand-specific reusable packaging, with the convenience of in-home delivery.”
