We are Lasso Loop Recycling. We are creating an appliance for the home that ensures all material inserted can be recycled - currently the recycling rate is 20%, we want to make it 100%. We are on a mission to change recycling for good and need your help!
We are a high-growth early stage pre-revenue startup that has raised $2.3m in funding to develop our prototype which is close to completion. Early next year, we will launch our third round of funding - including pre-sales, a formal funding round and a possible equity or product crowdfunding campaign across the US, UK and additional territories. As you can tell, the next 12 months are exciting and vital to success, so the team is expanding.
