Startup pioneering carbon-to-materials technology for a circular future marks major milestone
Marlborough, Mass., Sept. 17, 2025 — Loop CO2 Inc., a leading startup transforming CO₂ into degradable, high-performance polymers, today announced the grand opening of its new research facility. The new lab — located at 260 Cedar Hill St., Lab #5, Marlborough, Mass.— is a significant advancement for the polymer industry by enabling the development of functional, debondable, and upcyclable CO₂-based polymers.
The 3,000-square-foot facility represents a major investment in CO₂-utilization technologies. It will serve as a hub for cutting-edge research into next-generation polymers, enabling controllable pathways to produce low-VOC acrylics, BPA-free epoxies, biodegradable polyesters, and chemically recyclable polyurethanes.
“Our new facility, equipped with a 16-foot-tall distillation tower and a 20-liter high-pressure autoclave, marks a significant step forward,” said Aone Wang, CEO of Loop CO₂, Inc. “These capabilities will accelerate advanced polymer development and support the broader adoption of advanced coatings; debonding-on-demand adhesives for consumer electronics and EV batteries; and chemically recyclable polyurethanes for inks, packaging, and laminations—reshaping the future of the plastics industry.”
Looking ahead, Loop CO₂’s next milestone is the build-out of a 300-liter scale-up facility, which will expand production capacity for pilot projects with global brand and manufacturing partners. The 300-liter line is expected to add 8–10 new technical and operations jobs in Marlborough, supporting regional clean-tech workforce growth.
