Milliken presents
Milliken Partners with PureCycle Technologies to Accelerate Revolutionary Plastics Recycling Towards a Circular Economy
At K2019 Milliken will showcase this exciting new partnership to restore used polypropylene plastic to ultra-pure recycled polypropylene advancing the closed-loop recycling of PP resin.
PureCycle’s patented recy- cling process, developed and licensed by Procter & Gamble, separates color, odor and other contaminants from plastic waste feedstock to transform it into ul- tra-pure recycled polypropylene. Milliken’s additives will play a crit- ical role in reinvigorating the recy- cled polypropylene and the company has formed an exclusive supply relationship with PureCycle to help solve the plastics end-of-life challenge. Today, about 20 percent of polyeth- ylene terephthalate (PET), which is com- monly used to make plastic bottles and other consumer goods, is re- cycled. By contrast, less than 3 per- cent of polypro- pylene plastic is currently recy- cled. PureCycle is the first company to solely focus on recycling and rein-

tegrating polypropylene upstream to highly sensitive consumer prod- uct applications, which are used in food and beverage and consumer
goods packaging, automobile interi- ors, electronics, home furnishings, and many other products. And, to meet this challenge PureCycle is building the first plant in the United States that will recycle 54.000 tonnes of polypropylene,
producing over 47.000 tonnes per year starting in 2021. Milliken understands that creating a sus- tainable future requires meaningful collaboration with other industry pioneers and PureCy- cle’s technology, combined with Mil- liken’s leading plastic additives, pro- vide a transformative opportunity to elevate the via- bility of recycled polypropylene and help solve the plastics end-of-life challenge.
