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 for 10+ years, developing 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 the 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 new 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 CapEx reduction of up to 50% versus incumbent offerings and high project EBITDAs of 40-65%.

- 8 international patent grants.
