On October 13, 2020, Hindenburg Research ("Hindenburg") published a report entitled "Loop Industries: Former Employees and Plastics Experts Blow The Whistle On This ‘Recycled' Smoke And Mirrors Show". Citing a months-long investigation that "included speaking with multiple former employees, company partners, polymer/plastic experts, and competitors," the Hindenburg report characterized Loop's "claimed breakthroughs in PET [polyethylene terephthalate] plastic recycling" as "fiction". The Hindenburg Report described former employees as "paint[ing] a picture of a chaotic company whose lead scientists are twenty-something ‘liars' with no relevant work experience other than Loop" and asserted that "[o]ur investigation points to one conclusion: in the words of a former Loop employee, we simply ‘don't really think they have the technology.'"
On this news, Loop's stock price fell sharply during intraday trading on October 13, 2020.
