Commercializes a proprietary process to recycle polypropylene plastic waste into near-virgin-quality resin.
Commercializes a proprietary process to recycle polypropylene plastic waste into near-virgin-quality resin.
Its first plant, in Ironton, Ohio, was built to buy used polypropylene as feedstock and sell the purified resin to brand owners and converters, so margins depend on the gap between waste cost and resin price. The process was licensed in from Procter & Gamble, and more plants or licensing deals are meant to follow once the first runs reliably.
Moat: narrow (IP / patents, process know-how). Patented solvent-based purification process is the main differentiator versus mechanical recycling.
