PureCycle Technologies Inc. has received GreenCircle Certified LLC’s recycled content certification for multiple grades of PureFive polypropylene (PP) resin and co-products.
The Orlando, Florida-based advanced recycler says the certification confirms its sustainability claims to customers regarding the percentage of postconsumer recycled content in those materials.
GreenCircle is a Royersford, Pennsylvania-based third-party certification company that conducts extensive audits of organizations to verify the accuracy of sustainability claims. The firm is endorsed by the Association of Plastic Recyclers and their certification is considered a critical requirement for many procurement organizations.

“At GreenCircle Certified, we are proud to recognize PureCycle for achieving the recycled content certification for their resin,” GreenCircle Certification Officer Sara Risely says. “This certification underscores their commitment to sustainability and their efforts in advancing circular economy solutions within the plastics industry.”
PureCycle says the multistep certification process is ISO 17065 compliant and ensures that recycled content claims are accurate, truthful and consistent. The process included visits by GreenCircle to PureCycle’s facility in Ironton, Ohio, and the company’s compounding operations.
“This comprehensive process and certification is another confirmation of PureCycle’s ability to recycle challenging waste streams and transform them into high-quality recycled products,” PureCycle CEO Dustin Olson says. “As the demand for sustainability increases, many customers require this type of certification, so this should support our commercial growth. We are firmly committed to offering a sustainable alternative to virgin polypropylene resin. GreenCircle’s recycled content certification serves as proof of our efforts.”
The recycler plans to continue working with GreenCircle to achieve annual certifications for multiple grades of its PureFive product.
