Summary
PureCycle Technologies has formed a strategic partnership with RM TOHCELLO and Mitsui to accelerate the use of recycled-content biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film in Japan. The collaboration combines PureCycle’s plastic recycling expertise with RM TOHCELLO’s BOPP film production and Mitsui’s commercial reach to expand recycled content in packaging.

What do you see as the biggest hurdle to scaling recycled-content BOPP in Japan—feedstock supply, film performance standards, cost, or brand demand?
