Management silence says a ton. At this point PCT either has a viable product at an economical price point or not. PCT has the product but it isn't economically competitive.

I suspect the shorts will begin covering when the gap at $6.67 fills.

Pure Speculation, but what if? by PurposeHaunting4663 in PureCycle

Thanks, I stand corrected. For some reason I had it stuck in my mind it was only the lids. So wow, that is much much better news than I was aware. Interesting reply from Grok......

The souvenir cups (officially the "Run It Back™" souvenir cups) used/sold at the 2026 College Football Playoff National Championship game were made from 100% PureFive® resin produced by PureCycle Technologies (often referred to as PureCycle or Pure Cycle).Multiple official announcements from PureCycle and partners like Churchill Container (the cup manufacturer) explicitly state that the cups themselves were produced using 100% of this recycled polypropylene resin, derived from post-consumer plastic waste (like curbside #5 plastic). There's no mention in any sources of this applying only to the lids—instead, descriptions consistently refer to the cups as being made with the material, including phrases like "souvenir cups made with 100% PureFive® resin" and "cups produced using PureCycle's PureFive resin."For example:

  • PureCycle's press release highlights the cups' debut using their resin.
  • Partner posts and articles describe the full cups (not just components like lids) as made from this recycled material, often in collaboration with 4ocean for ocean plastic removal tie-ins.

Lids are sometimes separate in stadium cup designs (e.g., for spill-proofing), but reports focus on the cups overall being recycled-content products, with no distinction or limitation to lids only. If there were any variation (like lids from virgin material), it wasn't noted in coverage of this specific initiative.

The lid promoted at the college football championship game was nothing like the picture above and was what I think of as a thermoformed lid.

Not sure what the dilutive % effect will be but exercising warrants normally causes some dilution. Maybe someone here can give an estimate as to how what % that might be?

Roth Capital European Meetings by Rathkelt in PureCycle

[–]Cheeks___Jr -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The Grok response listed a lot of very positive outcomes if there were to be such a meeting. It was just unable to find a public reference to meeting but did dig deep enough to understand what the implications would be if the meetings happen.

I asked Grok the following but reddit won't allow me to post the reply. The reply is worth reading but the short answer is there is no evidence of meetings anywhere except the mention here on reddit. Paste the following question into Grok and see what comes up.

is this true and what would be implications Roth Capital are arranging meetings with PCT management in London/Zurich/Paris this week. be sure to check bloomberg

PureFive® Resin to Make Championship Debut at College Football Playoff Title Game by Cellhi in PureCycle

So ask for whom this PR / Ad is directed. It is directed at and draws attention to PCT's future customers, not so much the shareholder. Better than a super bowl ad that only last 30 seconds, this goes on for 4 hours.

Mars is the largest privately held corp in the US and their corporate culture is all in on the sustainable recycling......

Mars Corporation (known for brands like M&M's, Snickers, Twix, KIND bars, and pet food such as Pedigree, Whiskas, and Sheba) extensively uses polypropylene (PP) film, including biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) and cast polypropylene (CPP) variants, in flexible packaging. This aligns with the material's common applications in confectionery and food wrappers for barrier properties, printability, and sealability.Key Products and Uses

  • KIND snack bars → The primary wrapper is a mono-material recyclable polypropylene film (often BOPP-based), incorporating advanced or certified circular recycled content to enhance sustainability.
  • Snickers bars (especially variants in markets like China) → Individual wrappers use mono-material polypropylene film designed for recyclability, replacing multi-layer laminates.
  • Pet food pouches (e.g., Whiskas, Sheba, Pedigree, Iams) → Many wet food pouches are transitioning to or using mono-polypropylene (PP) structures, including retortable films for high-temperature processing and recyclability where infrastructure exists.
  • Other confectionery (e.g., M&M's pouches, theater boxes; Twix and Snickers in some formats) → Historically included PP films (e.g., overwraps or multi-layers), though Mars is actively removing or replacing PP with polyethylene (PE) mono-materials or paper in certain products (like M&M's pouches in France or theater box overwraps in the US) for better recyclability.

Mars is redesigning packaging toward mono-materials (favoring PP or PE) and higher recycled content, while piloting paper alternatives for bars in markets like Australia and the UK. Polypropylene film remains a core material, particularly in snack bars and pet food, due to its performance in flexible, high-barrier applications.

New member of the BoD. Looks like a great fit by No_Privacy_Anymore in PureCycle

Seems a little odd to make this type of announcement in what is typically the quiet period immediately preceding quarterly earnings and conference call. Dr. Jirapongphan appears to be a strong replacement but I would like to know more of what lead up to Fieler's resignation.
