PureCycle Technologies CEO Mike Otworth said: “Total possesses world-class expertise in the research, development and production of polypropylene.

“We believe Total represents the best possible strategic partner for PureCycle as we strive to scale this very promising and transformational technology globally.

“The introduction of recycled polypropylene that can be used interchangeably with virgin resin will have an enormously beneficial impact on the global plastics circular economy.

“Total shares our passion to make this happen and we are very pleased to have them as a strategic partner.”

In December last year, Total joined forces with plastic recycling technology provider Recycling Technologies, global brands Nestlé and Mars to develop an innovative industrial chemical recycling industry in France.
