Closing the Loop for Kids and the Planet

Recycle. Create. Donate.
From recycled materials to sportswear & pens.
From profits to meaningful donations.

We turn waste into wearable gear and school supplies for children in need.

Plastic waste is one of the fastest growing environmental challenges of our time. At the same time, thousands of children from low-income and multicultural families struggle to access basic sportswear.

We saw two problems — and created one solution.

At Green Loop, we transform discarded plastic into high-quality sports apparel and donate it to young athletes who need it most.

We don't just recycle materials.

From waste to confidence. From plastic to purpose.

We recycle opportunity.

Production process - How It Works

Why It Matters

Every year, millions of tonnes of plastic waste end up in landfills and oceans. Plastic bottles can take hundreds of years to break down. During that time, they pollute ecosystems, harm marine wildlife, and contribute to climate change.

At the same time, children without access to proper sportswear often feel excluded from school sports programs and youth teams. Something as simple as not having the right uniform can prevent participation, damage confidence, and reduce opportunity.

We believe no child should sit on the sidelines — and no plastic bottle should go to waste.

🌱 Turn Plastic Into Play

From Waste to Winning Moments

About Green Loop

Green Loop is a sustainability-driven social initiative that transforms recycled plastic into high-quality soccer sportswear for children in vulnerable communities.

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to play, grow, and build confidence with proper athletic clothing. By combining environmental responsibility with community-centered charity, we reduce plastic waste while creating meaningful impact through sport.

Our mission goes beyond donating clothing — we build lasting relationships with the children and organizations we support. Through partnerships, soccer training sessions, and jersey donations, Green Loop creates a positive cycle where sustainability, sports, and social impact come together.

Green Loop addresses two critical challenges:

  • Environmental waste reduction
  • Access to functional athletic apparel for underserved youth

We prioritize quality over quantity, long-term partnerships over one-time donations, and measurable outcomes over short-term visibility.

Green Loop is not simply a charity initiative — it is a purpose-driven platform where sustainability, leadership, and sport intersect.

About the Founder

Yongwook Im, Founder of Green Loop

⚽ Yongwook Im

Founder, Green Loop

Soccer has shaped my character — teaching discipline, fairness, teamwork, and resilience. As someone deeply involved in the sport, I experienced firsthand how proper equipment influences confidence and performance.

At the same time, my interest in sustainability led me to explore how recycled materials can be reimagined into functional design.

Green Loop was born at the intersection of these two passions.

By transforming plastic waste into performance-driven soccer jerseys, I aim to create opportunities for children who deserve the chance to play comfortably and confidently.

Because sustainability is not only about protecting the planet — it is about investing in people and building stronger futures.
