PureCycle makes first commercial shipment to Milliken to advance sustainability of PP

PureCycle Technologies sent out a commercial shipment of its Ultra-Pure Recycled (UPR) resin to Milliken & Company, a diversified manufacturer with expertise in polymer additive and colorant technology. This delivery of UPR resin will allow Milliken to trial the industry’s first fully sustainable concentrate for polypropylene (PP).

PureCycle delivers UPR resin to Milliken to trial their sustainable concentrate for PP.

Typically, even fully recycled products are stabilized with traditional additive packages built with fossil-based PP, leaving the final consumer product blend with less than 100% recycled polyolefin content.

Last year, PureCycle and Milliken announced the new sustainable, odorless concentrate for PP at the K show.

This Milliken-designed concentrate will allow products made with 100% recycled polyolefins. In addition, using the concentrate may allow customers to obtain certified energy savings and carbon emission reductions, compared to traditional methods.

Wim Van de Velde, global vice president of plastics additives at Milliken, explained that the concentrate will enable the production of 100% recycled content consumer goods. It allows recycled polypropylene to deliver the same high quality as virgin PP and has crystal clear clarity.

“As the world continues to seek more recycled content in their products and packaging, this concentrate will allow businesses to deliver fully circular solutions to their consumers,” added Dustin Olson, CEO of PureCycle.

Furthermore, using pre-production modeling data from the commercial facility design, an independent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) found that PureCycle’s process could reduce 35% greenhouse gas emissions and utilize about 80% less energy when compared to fossil-fuel-derived polypropylene manufacturing.
