The future of pet food is circular
Demand for sustainable, healthy and hypoallergenic pet food is constantly growing worldwide.
Pet owners want the best both for their pets and for the world around them. They are setting ever higher standards for food and consciously choosing brands that acknowledge their ecological responsibility.
Our pet food ingredients are fully circular, derived from food industry residue streams and perfectly match the needs of the modern pet food manufacturer. They offer a balanced mix of nutritional and technological benefits: nutritious, functional and ecologically responsible.

Why circular pet food ingredients from Looop?
Our ingredients are naturally gluten-free, non-GMO and plant-based. This makes them highly suitable for grain-free, vegetarian and hypoallergenic formulations. They offer an easily digestible and tasty alternative, rich in complex carbohydrates, fibre and other essential nutrients. Perfect for pets with sensitive digestive systems or specific dietary requirements.
- Circular and plant-based
- Non-GMO
- Gluten-free
- Easily digestible
- Hypoallergenic
- Natural binding agent
Our circular by-products act as a natural binding agent. The starch contributes to a firm, attractive structure, pleasant texture and good nutrient absorption. While the degree of gelatinisation can be tailored to the manufacturer's requirements. At the same time, the natural fibre supports healthy digestion.
Circular pet food ingredients
Our circular ingredients based on potato residue streams originate from local potato processors in the Netherlands and surrounding regions.
Potatoes are a particularly versatile source of nutrition for pets. This is due to not only their sustainable origin, but also for their functional and nutritional properties. They are naturally low in fat, gluten-free and rich in carbohydrates, among other things. This makes them extremely suitable for pets with food sensitivities or specific dietary requirements.
Efficient and sustainable
Our drying lines are located at carefully selected partners in Northwest Europe.
Our most important drying line is located in Ysselsteyn, Limburg. At this site, we process potato by-products into high-quality dried ingredients for pet food. What makes this process special is the way we dry: using renewable energy released by burning organic waste. Our drying line uses residual heat from a biomass power plant. As a result, carbon emissions are minimised and the drying process is fully in keeping with our circular vision.
Thanks to this processing method, we guarantee not only consistent quality and food safety, but also minimal environmental impact.
