PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCT) produces recycled polypropylene (PP) at a facility in Thailand. The company licenses a process that converts waste PP into an ultra-pure recycled resin branded PureFive, with applications spanning consumer packaging, labeling, textiles, and industrial plastic parts. Its purification relies on physical separation to remove color, odor, other plastics, and additives from feedstock.
Classified under the Materials sector and Commodity Chemicals sub-industry, PureCycle operates in the plastics recycling segment of the broader petrochemicals value chain, where polypropylene is one of the most widely used commodity plastics. The company was founded in 2015, is headquartered in Orlando, Florida, and began trading on NASDAQ in July 2020.
