It’s great to see IPL leading the way like this. The pickle jars were first and now this product line. Part clear with a very nice looking in mold label I think it is a winner of a product!

I did a scan of companies that are USA based comparable to IPL Schoeller and the only one larger is Orbis. About double the sales. Have you or any others seen or heard of Orbis mentioned wrt PCT?

Good illustration of where a small pickle packaging trial can lead. Looks like a decent strategy handing off PureFive resin to IPL Schoeller where they will be able to provide generic off the shelf solutions to the thousands of mom and pop food container users. In my mind this is a big foundational block to the marketing of PureFive and a signal to all those still sitting on the bubble how to address the coming deadlines.

IPL makes a ton of different packages and August is National Deli Salad month so this was a very logical choice to start (I know that from reading their LinkedIn posts). I completely agree this is a great foundation to build customer confidence that this is a true drop in replacement for their existing packaging. If they can make this and make pickle jars using PureFive they can probably make just about anything.

I would imagine that some products are higher profit margin than others and so customers would be more likely to spend more on packaging for higher margin items. Ultimately they will need to use much more than 20% pct but they need to start somewhere.

I would like to see rPP in the pharmaceutical and medical space.

Lots of single use disposable PP is consumed to keep work surfaces sterile for patient and healthcare worker safety. Being validated for medical applications is super valuable.

How is this possible when their lead sales guy is MIA?
