PureCycle Technologies will work with Nestlé and the polymer additive maker Milliken to develop its technology for recycling used polypropylene into “virginlike” material. PureCycle licensed the technology from Procter & Gamble and is building a plant in Lawrence County, Ohio, that will deploy it. Milliken will provide additives that help upgrade used polypropylene, while Nestlé will help PureCycle develop new packaging materials.
