Partnership and product
Reliable Caps and PureCycle are offering bright white, colorable closures made with PureFive Ultra recycled polypropylene, containing up to 75% certified post‑consumer recycled (PCR) content; these closures are being distributed through Reliable Caps’ network and offered across most of its product lineup.
Material and performance
PureFive Ultra is produced via a proprietary dissolution process that removes contaminants, colors and odors from post‑consumer packaging, producing a resin whose performance characteristics closely mirror virgin polypropylene and are suitable for contact‑sensitive applications.
Certifications and sourcing
The resin is GreenCircle Certified and domestically sourced, supporting full chain‑of‑custody documentation for PCR content claims required in regulatory filings and sustainability reporting.
Regulatory context
The closures target brand owners and converters facing recycled‑content mandates driven by Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policies in the U.S. and the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), providing a compliant option for food, beverage, personal care and household packaging where purity and aesthetics are important.
