About PureCycle Technologies

PureCycle Technologies (NASDAQ: PCTTU) is a U.S.-based recycling and technology company specializing in the purification of post-consumer polypropylene waste. Headquartered in Orlando, Florida, PureCycle employs a proprietary, solvent-based purification process originally developed at Procter & Gamble to convert polypropylene feedstock—such as discarded food packaging, industrial scrap and consumer goods—into an ultra-pure recycled resin.
