PureCycle Technologies Completes $250 Million Bond Raise; Begins Construction on Phase II Industrial Line in Ironton, Ohio

PureCycle Technologies LLC ("PureCycle") announced today it has completed the bond financing required to build its first plant in Ironton, Ohio.

With the financing of the first plant complete, PureCycle is able to accelerate its long-term growth strategy, which includes accelerated plant builds and capacity, as well as expansion in the United States to meet demonstrated and heightened demand for a sustainable solution to recycled polypropylene (PP) plastics around the world.

"The need of a solution for PP waste has been and continues to be a driving force for PureCycle. It is even more relevant during our current health crisis that a global solution be the focus to close the loop on making polypropylene a recyclable, valued material instead of letting it wash up on our shores," stated Mike Otworth, PureCycle CEO.

Last year, PureCycle delivered a groundbreaking announcement that Phase I of the project, the Feedstock Evaluation Unit, had purified waste carpet ? transforming discarded carpet into clear, odorless, ultra-pure recycled polypropylene (UPRP). This successful run at scale brings innovation to the forefront within the PP recycling industry.

Upon completion, PureCycle's first plant is expected to produce over 105 million pounds of ultra-pure recycled polypropylene (UPRP) per year, which will be used in consumer goods packaging, home furnishings, and other applications that currently have very limited options for recycled PP today. PureCycle is also working toward submitting for a letter of non-object from the Food and Drug Administration for its UPRP to be used in food grade applications.

"The bond sale represents a significantly sized offering in the current market and has been well received by a wide range of institutional investors. We are pleased to market and underwrite this bond financing, and we are proud to be associated with PureCycle and the positive global impact it will have on the environment in closing the loop on polypropylene recycling," said Timothy Hoover, managing director, Piper Sandler & Co.

PureCycle is a portfolio company of Innventure.
