What L.O.O.P. - Life Out Of Plastic SAC does

L.O.O.P. - Life Out Of Plastic SAC is a private Peruvian social enterprise founded in 2011 and headquartered in Barranco, Lima. It develops environmental education and plastic-pollution programs for citizens, students, corporations, NGOs, and government agencies. Its offerings include beach cleanups, environmental talks, recycling visits, macro- and microplastic sampling, gamified activations, consulting, and national awareness campaigns; HAZla por tu Playa is the principal national cleanup and citizen-science platform.

Operationally, the company's principal technical asset is a proprietary methodology for systematic macro- and microplastic sampling on beaches.

The company primarily monetizes customized professional services for organizations, including corporate volunteering, consulting, research, workshops, and awareness campaigns, sold through direct engagement. Community campaigns and educational programs support awareness, volunteer mobilization, and demand generation. Pricing is quote-based, and customer-level revenue is not disclosed; operational scale includes 15-region campaign coverage, more than 2,500 volunteers in the 2026 HAZla campaign, and more than 273 tonnes collected cumulatively.

Direct peers

• Parley for the Oceans: Ocean advocacy organization that partners with global brands (e.g., adidas) on plastic-pollution initiatives and runs large-scale awareness campaigns, mirroring L.O.O.P.'s model of blending citizen mobilization with corporate sustainability partnerships.

• Surfrider Foundation: Beach-cleanup and ocean-protection NGO with chapters across multiple countries and strong corporate-volunteer programs; comparable to L.O.O.P. in mission, beach-cleanup model, and grassroots mobilization.
• Ocean Generation: Ocean-education and campaign-driven nonprofit running creative public activations on plastic pollution; comparable to L.O.O.P.'s Playas Vivas / Desplastifícate campaigns combining art, education, and citizen engagement.

Emerging players

Broad incumbents

• Veolia Environmental Services: Global waste-management and environmental-services incumbent operating at far larger scale across water, waste, and energy; relevant because Veolia is an existing L.O.O.P. customer/partner and represents the broader incumbent space L.O.O.P. interfaces with.
