Aly Bryan is a senior investor at Closed Loop Partners who takes a materials-first approach to investing, systematically tracking specific materials like metals and critical minerals at the molecular level and backing companies that keep those materials in circulation regardless of which industry they serve. She focuses specifically on what happens after products leave customers—reverse logistics, returns, and end-of-life processing—and champions modular, localized recovery systems over large centralized plants, challenging the traditional bias toward massive processing facilities.
