PureCycle’s Record Q3 Resin Output Signals Momentum as Ironton Facility Hits New High
Record 7.2 Million Pounds Produced: Ironton Facility Leads PureCycle’s Growth
PureCycle Technologies delivered a significant operational milestone in the third quarter of 2025, producing a record 7.2 million pounds of PureFive™ resin pellets at its Ironton Facility—nearly matching the output of the entire first half of the year. September alone saw a monthly best of 3.3 million pounds, highlighting a substantial ramp-up in the company's core recycling operation.
Commercial Traction Builds as Major Brand Partnerships Deepen
This surge in output is more than just a number: CEO Dustin Olson emphasized that major converters and brand owners, including Fortune 100 companies, are moving beyond testing to make actual purchases of PureCycle’s high-grade resin. The finalized PureFive™ portfolio now supports food-grade films, thermoforming, injection molding, and textile applications, creating new opportunities across a range of industries. Notably, shipments for a top five global quick-service restaurant are slated to begin in Q4 2025.
Strategic Supply Chain and Expansion Initiatives Set Up for Long-Term Impact
Looking ahead, PureCycle is completing the installation of compounding operations at Ironton by year-end, paving the way to manufacture up to 100 million pounds of single-pellet solutions annually. This internal compounding is expected to streamline production, cut costs, and expand supply, making the operation more efficient as market demand increases.
The company is also expanding internationally, with a Thailand project now targeting feedstock commitments for over 100 million pounds annually, and construction scheduled for completion in 2027. European operations gained momentum as well, with PureCycle's application for a EUR 40 million grant moving forward in the EU’s Innovation Fund process, setting the stage for new construction upon permitting.
