PureCycle Technologies is a recycling technology company focused on turning waste polypropylene (PP) into high‑purity, virgin‑like recycled resin. Using a solvent‑based purification process originally developed by Procter & Gamble, the company removes color, odor, and contaminants from post‑consumer and post‑industrial PP to produce ultra‑pure recycled polypropylene suitable for demanding applications, including food‑contact uses subject to regulatory approvals.
Headquartered in the United States, PureCycle is scaling commercial production and building a global project pipeline. It sources diverse PP feedstocks and targets end markets such as packaging, consumer products, automotive, and fibers/films, aiming to expand circular solutions for polypropylene and reduce reliance on virgin plastics.
Also known as PCT, PureCycle Technologies LLC., and PureCycle Technologies LLC.
