PureCycle Technologies (PCT) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

PureCycle Technologies, Inc. is a chemical recycling company that develops and operates technology designed to convert waste polypropylene plastic into recycled polypropylene resin. Unlike conventional mechanical recycling, which can leave behind colors, odors and other contaminants, PureCycle’s proprietary purification process is intended to separate impurities from polypropylene and produce a recycled material with properties similar to virgin resin.

The company’s products are recycled polypropylene pellets and related materials that can be used in applications such as packaging, consumer products, automotive components and other molded plastic goods. PureCycle processes post-industrial and post-consumer polypropylene feedstocks, including materials that may be difficult to recycle through traditional methods. Its technology was originally developed with The Procter & Gamble Company, which granted PureCycle rights to commercialize the process.

PureCycle is headquartered in Ohio and has focused on developing commercial-scale recycling operations in the United States, including its first major processing facility in Ironton, Ohio. The company has also pursued additional recycling capacity and feedstock relationships to support customers seeking recycled-content materials. PureCycle Technologies trades on the Nasdaq under the symbol PCT.
