PureCycle Technologies Inc is a Florida-based corporation focused on commercializing a patented dissolution process to physically separate the polymer from other plastics, color, and contaminants (the Technology), originally developed by The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G), for restoring waste polypropylene into resin with near-virgin characteristics, called PureFive resin. PureFive resin represents the family of recycled resin products produced, including ultra-pure resin and other grades used for compounding to meet customer specifications, which has similar properties and applicability for reuse as virgin polypropylene. It has a single operating segment, which encompasses integrated business activities related to the recycling of polypropylene into resins.

Lithium Americas is a pure-play lithium producer. Following a deal with the US government, the firm will own 59% of one resource, Thacker Pass, which is located in northwest Nevada, with automaker General Motors owning 36% and the US government owning 5%. Thacker Pass is under construction and expected to begin production in 2028. Thacker Pass is one of the largest known lithium resources in the world. The project would be the first clay-based asset to enter production, and we estimate it will be in bottom half of the global cost curve. Management plans to develop Thacker Pass into a fully integrated lithium production site, with downstream refining capabilities on site, and will sell into the lithium chemical market.
