PureCycle announced progress on the use of PureFive resin in industrial biaxially oriented polypropylene film trials. The latest trials were conducted by Bruckner Maschinenbah. The positive Bruckner trials were conducted with blends ranging from 15% to 50% PureFive resin from PureCycle’s commercial facility in Ironton, Ohio. The film was successfully extruded at Bruckner’s German facility and performed similarly to virgin polypropylene on multiple tests. Initial stretch tests appear promising, with additional stretch testing scheduled for later this month. PureCycle CEO Dustin Olson said, “Flexible packaging is one of the largest segments for polypropylene, and there is not a traditionally recycled material that can consistently meet the high purity demands required to make film. The early results are encouraging from the trials with Bruckner, and it gives me confidence we can meet the stringent processing requirements.” Olson added, “Bruckner is known as a trusted BOPP equipment manufacturer and resource for BOPP film producers, so it was critical for us to have these trials handled by their experts in Germany. We look forward to additional trials later this month.”
