PureCycle Technologies Inc. (PCT) saw its stock price surge 10.82% in Thursday's trading session following the release of a positive corporate update. The company, which specializes in recycling polypropylene, reported several significant achievements that have bolstered investor confidence.
The corporate update revealed that PureCycle has reached a record quarterly production of 7.2 million pounds of its PureFive resin at its Ironton facility, with September alone accounting for a monthly record of 3.3 million pounds. This production milestone demonstrates the company's growing operational capabilities and efficiency. Additionally, PureCycle announced the expansion of its Denver site to a second shift, with plans for a third shift in the coming quarter, indicating strong demand for its products.
Investors were particularly encouraged by PureCycle's progress in market expansion and commercial developments. The company has successfully qualified its resin for use in various applications, including white thermoformed coffee lids for a major global quick-service restaurant brand. This breakthrough, coupled with new certifications for recycled content and REACH compliance enabling sales into Europe, has opened up significant market opportunities. Furthermore, PureCycle reported ongoing discussions with multinational companies for long-term supply contracts and a robust sales pipeline spanning over 100 opportunities across key market segments such as automotive, flexible packaging, and injection molding.
