PureCycle and VW successfully test 100% rPP bumper fascia; dissolution process meets EU recycled content targets
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- PureCycle collaborated with VWGoA Innovation Hub to produce a VW Atlas bumper fascia from 100% post-consumer recycled polypropylene.
- Testing passed 50 cycles of temperature resistance, Florida weathering, impact, flexural strength, and cross-cut adhesion.
- Solution complies with EU ELV regulation requiring 25% recycled plastic in new vehicles by 2030 (25% from ELVs).
- PureCycle's dissolution process removes impurities, producing high-quality rPP that acts as a drop-in replacement without new tooling.
- No revenue impact disclosed; milestone demonstrates commercial viability for automotive applications.
