Tuesday morning, PureCycle announced it had secured a REACH certificate, a bureaucratic achievement so mundane it’s like getting a permit to park in a spot that’s been reserved for years.

Before dawn broke upon the trading floor, Donovan, that seer of financial auguries, recalibrated his vision. Where once he saw $18 as the zenith of Mara’s worth, he now beheld $30-a doubling of hope, or perhaps delusion.
