PureCycle Partners with RM TOHCELLO to Unlock Recycled PP in Flexible Packaging
PCT sits 48% above its 52-week low of $4.93.
Summary
PureCycle and Mitsui have formed a strategic partnership with RM TOHCELLO, a major BOPP film producer, to bring recycled polypropylene to flexible packaging in Japan. Pilot-scale production runs using PureCycle's PureFive resin have been successfully completed, and the partners are now preparing to introduce the materials to converters and brand owners. A formal commercial agreement is targeted for 2027, with shipments to follow after regulatory compliance. This opens a high-value packaging segment that has historically been closed to recycled content due to purity requirements. The partnership validates PureCycle's technology in a demanding application and could drive future revenue, though commercial scale is still years away. The company recently raised $432.5 million in net proceeds, providing runway to pursue such growth initiatives.
