PureCycle Technologies is Proof of Concept for Innventure Business Model

Innventure Co-founder, Mike Otworth, to Return as Executive Chairman

Orlando, Florida - August 9, 2022 - PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCT), a company founded by Innventure in 2015 based on polypropylene recycling technology, is now maturing into a global manufacturing and technology company, allowing serial entrepreneur and Innventure co-founder Mike Otworth, to exit his position at PureCycle and now return to Innventure as Executive Chairman in early August 2022, validating a key component of Innventure’s business model. Mike spent the last seven years as Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of PCT. 

“We are very pleased to have Mike back at Innventure.  Mike brings tremendous depth of experience running the Innventure model and has a long history of creating winning strategic partnerships that drive business growth. As our new Executive Chairman, Mike will focus on expanding our global footprint and selectively building more partnerships with multinational companies,” commented Bill Haskell, Innventure’s CEO. 

“PCT’s technical readiness and excellent progress toward commercial operation in Ironton has been confirmed by a global engineering firm familiar with the project. Our progress makes us a leader in the polymer recycling space and reinforces that it’s the right time for me to return to Innventure”, said Mike Otworth.

With Mike’s return to Innventure, Dustin Olson is being promoted to CEO of PureCycle. Dustin noted that “the Innventure model leveraged a great technology, to address a market deficiency, with the speed of hungry entrepreneurship to create this amazing company that I now have the honor to lead. On a personal note, I am grateful for Mike’s lasting dedication to this mission, tenacity to keep moving forward, and for his belief in me. Joining PCT has been a wonderful decision for my family and me, and all of us at PureCycle are excited about the journey.”
