About PureCycle Technologies, Inc.

PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCT) is a U.S.-listed company traded on the NASDAQ market in the United States, with headquarters in Orlando, Florida. The company sits at the intersection of chemicals, materials, and the circular-economy theme, with a highly focused business model centered on recycling polypropylene (PP), the widely used #5 plastic. PureCycle’s core proposition is based on a patented dissolution-recycling process originally developed by Procter & Gamble (P&G). The process is designed to remove color, odor, and other contaminants from waste polypropylene and convert it into near-virgin recycled resin marketed as PureFive™. Founded in 2015 as Advanced Resin Technologies, LLC, the business was renamed in 2016 and later became PureCycle Technologies, Inc. through a reverse merger completed in March 2021. From an investor’s perspective, this is a relatively young company still in a scaling phase rather than a mature industrial franchisor. PureCycle is a holding company, and its operating activities are carried out through subsidiaries. That structure reflects a commercialization story that has moved from R&D and technology validation toward industrial deployment. The company’s main business line is the transformation of polypropylene waste into ultra-pure recycled resin for higher-value applications. Management highlights uses in packaging, labeling, textiles, and a range of plastic parts across industrial and consumer end markets. PureCycle’s competitive positioning is deliberately narrow: rather than competing as a general-purpose recycler, it aims to industrialize a proprietary process for one specific feedstock, with the goal of producing a premium recycled output that can be used multiple times and that may help brand owners meet recycled-content and sustainability targets. Strategically, PureCycle differentiates itself through technology ownership, product purity, and the ability to address a structural demand gap for high-quality recycled PP. Its competitive advantage depends on execution: plant ramp-up, feedstock access, operating costs, product qualification, and the pace at which major customers adopt the resin. As a result, the equity often behaves like a high-beta materials innovation story rather than a traditional packaging or recycling stock. Recent company-specific developments have included governance progress and commercialization milestones. In December 2025, PureCycle announced the appointment of Valerie Mars to its board of directors, a notable signal given her long tenure at Mars, Incorporated and her sustainability-oriented background. Recent corporate communications also continue to emphasize the Ironton facility and the company’s positioning as a recycler able to give curbside waste a second life. For investors, SEC filings—including Form 4 insider transaction reports—remain important to monitor because the stock can be sensitive to financing, capacity expansion, and operating-update news.
