Novaloop Gmbh

What Novaloop Gmbh does

NovaLoop GmbH is a privately held German sustainability and environmental compliance consulting firm headquartered in Böblingen, founded in 2020 by four specialists with over 40 years of combined experience in product compliance requirements. The company serves manufacturers and distributors of products who must navigate complex EU environmental regulations covering material compliance (RoHS, REACH, SCIP, POP, TSCA, PFAS), environmental labelling, extended producer responsibility (WEEE, batteries, packaging), and sustainability strategy. Its service portfolio combines modular consulting engagements with three proprietary technology assets: oOKAPI (a SaaS platform for automated determination of legal product marking and information requirements), NovaLoop COSIMA (material data/substance inventory management), and NovaLoop GLORIA (global regulatory impact alerting across RoHS, REACH, ELV, IMDS, POPs, packaging and battery regulations).

The business model blends three revenue streams: project-based professional services consulting (structured as modular packages from full-scope engagements to targeted topical support), recurring SaaS subscriptions for oOKAPI sold through a self-serve mid-market channel, and fixed-price training courses (Material Compliance Officer basic and advanced) delivered online or on-site in German or English. Go-to-market is sales-led with direct contact (website, email, phone) and an industry-specific event format — the Environmental Forum: Photo & Imaging — that anchors a vertical specialisation in the photo and imaging sector. Geographic focus is the DACH region (Germany, Switzerland) and broader EU; no international footprint beyond this is claimed.

The company is led by CEO and Managing Director Johanna Terry, operates from a single headquarters office (relocated to the Software Center Böblingen/Sindelfingen in August 2023 to accommodate team growth), and as of early 2026 maintains active content publishing across LinkedIn, XING, YouTube, and its blog. No external funding rounds, parent company, M&A activity, or named enterprise customers are disclosed in the source data. The firm is small (1–10 employees) and operates an industry-specific community format as its primary mid-funnel demand generation mechanism.

Broad incumbents

• Anthesis Group: Global sustainability consulting firm with product sustainability, material compliance, and ESG advisory services. Anthesis overlaps with NovaLoop's consulting and sustainability strategy offerings at a larger scale.
• Environmental Resources Management (ERM): Global environmental consulting firm with extensive product stewardship and regulatory compliance practices. ERM competes with NovaLoop on enterprise sustainability and compliance consulting engagements.
• Sphera (formerly thinkstep): Major sustainability and product compliance software suite covering LCA, REACH, RoHS, carbon, and ESG. Sphera is a broad incumbent whose product compliance modules compete with NovaLoop's offerings as part of a much larger portfolio.

Direct peers
