As #PlasticRecyclingWeek continues, we shift our focus to the importance of making sure the right materials are going to the proper recyclers. Our Denver, PA sorting facility helps with that by separating PP for our operations while sorting out non-PP material for other recyclers.

To meet the growing supply of unrecycled plastic, new and innovative technologies are required. PureCycle's dissolution recycling process removes color, odor and other impurities from recycled PP to create our PureFive™ resins. #PlasticRecyclingWeek
