The Polypropylene Recycling Coalition’s inaugural annual report highlights significant progress and momentum in improving the circularity of polypropylene (PP), also known as #5 plastic. 

Together with its members, the Polypropylene Recycling Coalition has deployed more than $15 million in 60 grants across more than half of U.S. states, resulting in new or improved polypropylene recycling access for 48 million people. 

“The Polypropylene Recycling Coalition was truly a first-of-its kind initiative for The Recycling Partnership. This was more than brands stepping up we brought together key industry organizations that were saying, ‘We’ve got to do something.'”

– Brittany LaValley, Vice President of Materials Advancement, The Recycling Partnership

In this report, learn how the Polypropylene Recycling Coalition is improving recycling for this valuable material and working to drive a 5% increase in the U.S. polypropylene recycling rate by: 

  • Increasing community recycling program acceptance of polypropylene 
  • Ensuring more recycling facilities can successfully sort polypropylene  
  • Supporting responsible end markets 
  • Informing policy 

Accomplishing a 5% increase in polypropylene recycling rates requires deploying $10 million in new capital throughout 2025, strategically focused on achieving critical milestones.  

Together, we can transform the system and make a lasting impact on polypropylene recycling. Join us in driving this change to build a better recycling system.
