NEXTLOOPP Americas, the global initiative committed to creating a circular economy for post-consumer, food-grade polypropylene (FGrPP) packaging across the Americas, today announced that Mexican-based听Alcamare International Group has joined the project to participate in its mission to close the loop on food-grade polypropylene.
Since its inaugural launch on听June 5, 2025, NEXTLOOPP Americas has been mobilizing stakeholders across the packaging and plastics value chain听鈥撎�including recyclers, converters, brand owners and recycling equipment providers听鈥撎�to establish the infrastructure, technologies, and regulatory pathways needed for safe, scalable recycling of food-grade PP via the proprietary听PPristineTM听resin process.
Alcamare joins a growing international ecosystem that integrates听recyclers, converters, brand owners, and technology providers.听Together, these partners are deploying advanced technologies such as听AI-driven sorting, and听high-performance cleaning听and听decontamination systems听to make food-grade PP recycling safe, viable, and commercially scalable.
Edward Kosior, President of NEXTLOOPP Americas,听said:听鈥�Alcamare is the first North American recycler stepping forward to partner with NEXTLOOPP Americas听鈥撎�and that鈥�s not just symbolic, it鈥�s catalytic. Their commitment enables us to transform our roadmap into tangible, scalable closed-loop solutions for polypropylene.鈥�
Marcio Amazonas, Vice President of NEXTLOOPP Americas, added:听鈥�Our aim is to give recyclers confidence听鈥撎�technical, regulatory, and commercial听鈥撎�to turn recycled PP back into food-contact packaging safely. Alcamare鈥�s participation shows that transformation is already underway.鈥�
Ruben Valdez, Industrial Director of Alcamare, commented:听鈥�We look forward to a great听collaboration with our new partners, with the expectation of expanding our capacity and听reaching new markets for our products.鈥�
