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 and has 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 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 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
