About PolyCycl

PolyCycl is focused on addressing one of the largest pain points in the field of waste management the challenge of recycling hard-to-recycle waste plastics . The company has been working across 12+ years developed multiple technologies for chemical recycling of low-grade waste plastics .

- PolyCycl's flagship technology enables conversion of low-grade plastics to high-value hydrocarbon oils , using a differentiated and patented fully-continuous pyrolysis process.
- Such hydrocarbon oils have been evaluated and qualified by global petrochemical and technology majors for manufacturing of low-carbon plastics that are identical to plastics manufactured conventionally from fossil resources.
- The technology paves the way for a plastic-to-plastic circular economy , where waste plastics such as flexible packaging films, single-use polythene bags, ketchup bottles with food residues, etc., can be recycled endlessly in a closed loop to manufacture current polymer resins.
- PolyCycl is one of the few companies in the world today that has developed a patented, fully-continuous process architecture for the conversion process. The continuous process architecture enables significant CapEx reduction versus incumbent offerings and high project EBITDAs .
- 8 international patent grants
