How can we use technology to support the circular economy and Net Zero ambitions?
South of Scotland Enterprise and Zero Waste Scotland
The Challenge
South of Scotland Enterprise (SOSE) has a mission to support businesses, social enterprises, and communities in the South of Scotland. One of the key areas of support we want to develop focusses on the circular economy and Scotland’s ambition to reach a Net Zero economy by 2045.
Looper
The Solution
Looper is a next-generation life cycle assessment software that enables goods producing companies to map, evaluate, and streamline their production process to accelerate the transition towards circular economy and net-zero. Through an intuitive interface, businesses can digitally blueprint their production, yielding instantaneous climate impact data and audit-prepared reports. Our solution not only boosts cost efficiency and productivity but also positions firms as sustainability frontrunners, safeguarding them against climate-related regulatory repercussions.
The Opportunity
Around 11,000 businesses in Southern Scotland alone are poised for environmental footprint evaluation, indicating a significant market. As we scale to encompass the entire Scottish goods-producing businesses, expand UK-wide, and ultimately global, the potential is exponential. Looper's vision is to revolutionise this untapped market, empowering businesses to become sustainability pioneers and unleash their full eco-conscious potential.
Next Steps
For businesses in the South of Scotland, Looper provides a free B2B software for climate impact assessment, with optional premium services. Our vision for the coming years includes securing larger enterprise contracts from multinational corporations and government bodies. Additionally, we aim to augment our B2B SaaS subscriptions, targeting goods-producing businesses across the UK and internationally.
