The Kroger Co. and Loop will pilot a reusable packaging system, enabling customers in select markets to purchase more than 100 products that have been redesigned with reusable glass or metal containers. Products available on the platform are shipped directly to consumers in a specially designed tote and once used, products are retrieved through free at-home pickup, then cleaned, refilled, and reused.
During the first phase of the U.S. launch, a select number of consumers in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. will be able to experience Loop. Kroger's partnership with Loop is the retailer's latest commitment to reduce single-use plastics under its Zero Hunger | Zero Waste plan.
