ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PureCycle Technologies, Inc.<\/a> (Nasdaq: PCT), a U.S.-based company revolutionizing plastic recycling, announced today the appointment of Valerie Mars to its Board of Directors, effective January 1, 2026. Mars was previously the Senior Vice President and Head of Corporate Development at Mars, Incorporated, a function she led for over 20 years.<\/p>\n

Mars is a fourth-generation member of the Mars family, which founded Mars, Incorporated in 1911. She joined Mars in 1992 and spent more than three decades in the company before retiring at the end of 2024. Mars received her bachelor\u2019s degree from Yale University and a master\u2019s degree at the Columbia Business School.<\/p>\n

PureCycle CEO Dustin Olson said, \u201cValerie Mars has been a strong advocate for sustainable business practices and, along with her generation of family members helped drive initiatives within Mars like their \u2018Sustainable in a Generation\u2019 plan. This initiative is helping reduce the company\u2019s use of virgin plastics and reduce their carbon footprint.\u201d Olson added, \u201cHer desire to drive sustainability and familiarity with scaling business operations perfectly aligns with PureCycle\u2019s core mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mars said, \u201cI\u2019ve been a lifelong advocate for advancing noble causes, and it\u2019s great to have the opportunity to serve the mission of this company. It was great to witness sustainability in action at the Ironton Facility and to see how this innovative technology can give curbside waste a new life. As a champion of sustainability I look forward to helping guide PureCycle into the next phase of their growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
