AboutPolyCycl

PolyCycl is focused on addressing one of the largest pain points in the field of waste management, the challenge ofrecycling hard-to-recycle waste plastics. The company has been working for10+ years, developing multiple technologies forchemical recycling of low-grade waste plastics.

• PolyCycl's flagship technology enables conversion oflow-grade plastics to high-value hydrocarbon oils, using a differentiated and patentedfully continuous pyrolysis process.

• Such hydrocarbon oils have been evaluated and qualified by global petrochemical and technology majors for themanufacturing of low-carbon plastics that are identical to plastics manufactured conventionally from fossil resources.

• The technology paves the way for aplastic-to-plastic circular economy, where waste plastics such as flexible packaging films, single-use polythene bags, ketchup bottles with food residues, etc., can berecycled endlessly in a closed loop to manufacture new polymer resins.

• PolyCycl isone 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 significantCapEx reductionversus incumbent offerings and high projectEBITDAs.

• 8 international patent grants.
