PureCycle Ironton PP purification plant reaches mechanical completion

PureCycle Technologies (PCT) announced it has reached mechanical completion of its first polypropylene, or PP, purification plant in Ironton, OH, and submitted documentation to Leidos Engineering, the site’s independent construction monitor, for formal certification of completion. PureCycle prepared the final closure documentation consistent with the requirements set forth by Leidos and believes the information to be complete and sufficient. The Leidos certification is required to achieve key milestones in connection with PureCycle’s Ironton financings. Contemporaneous with, and independent of, the Leidos (LDOS) certification process, the Ironton Facility will now begin operational pre-startup, safety review processes, and the march toward initial pellet production, which is currently anticipated to commence in the Q2. The Ironton Facility, once fully operational, is expected to produce 107 million pounds of Ultra-Pure Recycled resin annually, making high-quality recycled PP plastic more accessible at scale. PureCycle’s first purification plant will provide the Ironton community with an influx of new jobs.
