On October 13, 2020, Hindenburg Research issued a report, "Loop Industries: Former Employees and Plastics Experts Blow The Whistle On This 'Recycled' Smoke And Mirrors Show[.]"

According to the Hindenburg Research report, “Loop Industries has never generated revenue, yet calls itself a technology innovator with a ‘proven’ solution that is ‘leading the sustainable plastic revolution’[;] Our research indicates that Loop is smoke and mirrors with no viable technology.”

Hindenburg Research’s report also stated that "[a] former Loop employee told [Hindenburg Research] that Loop's scientists, under pressure from CEO Daniel Solomita, were tacitly encouraged to lie about the results of the company's process internally. [Hindenburg Research has] obtained internal documents and photographs to support their claims."

The Hindenburg Research report also stated that "[a]ccording to a former employee, Loop's previous claims of breaking PET down to its base chemicals at a recovery rate of 100% were 'technically and industrially impossible[.]'"

Further, the Hindenburg Research report stated that "[e]xecutives from a division of key partner Thyssenkrupp, [which] Loop entered into a 'global alliance agreement' with in December 2018, told [Hindenburg Research] their partnership is on 'indefinite' hold and that Loop 'underestimated' both costs and complexities of its process."

On this news, shares of Loop were down as much as 32.73% during intraday trading on October 13, 2020.
