The Recycling Partnership says thatpolypropylene (PP) recycling isincreasing in the US.

Since its creation in 2020, it hasgiven out 60 grants worth US$15 million across – resulting in new or improved PP recycling access to 48 million people, it claims. In its first report, its Polypropylene Recycling Coalition says that an extra 64 million lbs (29,000 tonnes) of PP has beenrecycled each year.

In one example, it says a grant allowed the Northern Recycling Center in New Jersey to upgrade equipment – allowing it to collect more PP and sell it to multipledomestic buyers.

“In four years, we have improved PP recycling in more than half of US states, and there is more to do,” said Brittany LaValley, vice president of materials advancement. “We knowthere is significant opportunity to continue to expand the demand for recycled PP.”

The organisation aims to drive a 5% increase in the US PP recycling rate by increasing community recycling programme acceptance, ensuring more recycling facilities can successfully sort PP, and supporting responsible end markets. Achieving this will require deploying US$10 million innew capital in 2025 – part of a strategy to deploy US$55 million to modernise recycling infrastructure and expand PP capture nationwide.
