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 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 June 5, 2025, NEXTLOOPP Americas has been mobilizing stakeholders across the packaging and plastics value chain – including recyclers, converters, brand owners and recycling equipment providers – to establish the infrastructure, technologies, and regulatory pathways needed for safe, scalable recycling of food-grade PP via the proprietary PPristineTM resin process.
Alcamare joins a growing international ecosystem that integrates recyclers, converters, brand owners, and technology providers. Together, these partners are deploying advanced technologies such as AI-driven sorting, and high-performance cleaning and decontamination systems to make food-grade PP recycling safe, viable, and commercially scalable.
Edward Kosior, President of NEXTLOOPP Americas, said: “Alcamare is the first North American recycler stepping forward to partner with NEXTLOOPP Americas – and that’s not just symbolic, it’s catalytic. Their commitment enables us to transform our roadmap into tangible, scalable closed-loop solutions for polypropylene.”
Marcio Amazonas, Vice President of NEXTLOOPP Americas, added: “Our aim is to give recyclers confidence – technical, regulatory, and commercial – to turn recycled PP back into food-contact packaging safely. Alcamare’s participation shows that transformation is already underway.”
Ruben Valdez, Industrial Director of Alcamare, commented: “We look forward to a great collaboration with our new partners, with the expectation of expanding our capacity and reaching new markets for our products.”
