Summary · why it matters

PureCycle Technologies, Mitsui & Co., and RM TOHCELLO have formed a strategic partnership to introduce recycled polypropylene into biaxially oriented polypropylene film for flexible packaging in Japan. The collaboration, which began with initial trials in early 2023, has successfully completed pilot-scale production runs using PureCycle's PureFive resin. The partners are now preparing to present the materials to converters and brand owners, with a formal commercial agreement targeted for 2027 and shipments to follow after import regulatory compliance. BOPP film is widely used in food packaging, labels, and consumer goods, but has historically been unable to incorporate meaningful recycled content due to stringent purity requirements that mechanically recycled polypropylene could not meet. PureCycle's proprietary dissolution recycling technology removes additives, colors, and odors from post-consumer waste, producing a certified recycled resin that the companies say can unlock this high-value packaging segment.
