PureCycle and IPL Schoeller Launch Pre-Compliant Packaging Line Ahead of State Mandates
Event summary
- PureCycle and IPL Schoeller launched SnapPack Square EVO, a standardized container line with 20% PureFive® recycled polypropylene.
- The product is designed to meet emerging state-level recycled content mandates without requiring custom development.
- Launch follows successful collaboration with Cleveland Kitchen on sustainable food packaging.
- SnapPack Square EVO will be available to brand owners starting Fall 2026.
The big picture
The launch comes as retailers and brand owners face a growing patchwork of state-level packaging regulations, with New Jersey's Recycled Content Law requiring rigid plastic packaging to contain at least 20% post-consumer recycled content by 2027. This collaboration positions PureCycle and IPL Schoeller as early movers in providing scalable solutions for compliance ahead of tightening regulations.
