A letter from our CEO
Dear Stakeholder,
2024 was a transformative year for Agilyx. In June, we made a significant strategic shift from being primarily a developer of proprietary catalyst-free depolymerization technology to an investment holding company. Our focus is to maximize the potential of waste plastic feedstock management and custom formulations through Cyclyx, and of advanced polystyrene recycling technology with Styrenyx. This new direction aligns with our commitment to enable plastic circularity on a global and commercial scale while accelerating the shift to a low-carbon economy. For more than 20 years, Agilyx has been at the forefront of advanced recycling, pioneering technologies that have reshaped the industry. With 22 patents and a series of industry firsts, we have developed an unparalleled understanding of post-use plastic chemistry, contamination impacts, and the complexities of diverse waste streams.
Cyclyx customized feedstock: The cornerstone of recycling
Recognizing feedstock availability’s critical role in the recycling effort, our renewed focus centers on Cyclyx, our joint venture with ExxonMobil (25%) and LyondellBasell (25%) dedicated to increasing the recyclability of plastic waste by custom formulating it into valuable feedstock for new products. Through our extensive experience in waste characterization and handling contamination, we have developed an unmatched ability to optimize feedstock streams for diverse advanced and mechanical recycling technologies. This expertise positions us to address the critical industry bottleneck: the consistent supply of high-quality recycled plastic feedstock. Cyclyx is an essential bridge between waste producers and recyclers, ensuring that plastic waste is collected and inputs tailored to industrial needs.
Styrenyx advanced recycling: Recovering the value of plastic
Styrenyx, our proprietary depolymerization process enables polystyrene to be recycled repeatedly, reducing reliance on virgin resources and significantly lowering carbon footprints.
The year in brief
This year, Cyclyx continued to progress development of the Cyclyx Circularity Centers. The final investment decision for the second center, to be located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, was taken in late 2024, marking a major milestone in the expansion of recycling infrastructure. Like the first center in Houston, this center is designed to process plastic waste into custom feedstock for recycling. Together with ExxonMobil and LyondellBasell, Agilyx invested $135 million in its development, with Agilyx’s $67.5 million pro-rata stake fully financed through equity and green bond transactions. Together, both Circularity Centers will have the capacity to produce an estimated 300,000 metric tons of feedstock annually, further strengthening our role in the circular plastics economy. We are also excited to have achieved the start of operations at Toyo Styrene’s (a member of the Denka group) facility in Japan. This facility showcases the latest generation of Styrenyx technology, highlighting our progress in scaling solutions for the circular economy. Learnings and successes over the years have played a critical role in demonstrating that advanced recycling of polystyrene is both feasible, as evidenced by facilities like Toyo, and essential to this global shift. Financially, we have reinforced our position through strategic capital raises, including a $40 million equity private placement in August and a $50 million senior secured green bond in November. Together, the raises provide the necessary resources to support the development of Cyclyx’s second Circularity Center and other corporate initiatives. Finally, we are very pleased to have launched our latest initiative, Plastyx—a 60/40 joint venture between Agilyx ASA and Circular Resources SARL. Plastyx is establishing sourcing supply chains in Europe to supply advanced recycling feedstocks to a wide range of customers, including working in close partnership with Cyclyx to support its inbound plastic demand.
Looking ahead
Our goal is clear: bridge the gap between waste producers and advanced recyclers, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality, process-ready feedstock. By supplying feedstock derived from post-use plastic and developing and marketing innovative, advanced recycling technology, we are driving meaningful change in the industry. With a strong and growing opportunity to deliver additional post-use plastic processing centers, Agilyx is poised to redefine the future of plastic recycling. As we embark on this new chapter, I want to thank our shareholders, partners, and employees for their continued support. Together, we are using technology for good, building a circular economy for plastics by turning waste into value.

What the advanced recycling industry needs to support its growth and sustainability contributions
While advanced plastic recycling technologies are scaling industrially and complementing mechanical recycling, the industry’s growth remains constrained by the availability of consistent, high-quality feedstock. Plastyx is designed to bridge this gap by developing partnerships and material processing capabilities to ensure a reliable supply of high-quality polymers for food-grade and other high-performance packaging applications.

Moving towards a
lower-carbon future
Working with our customers, we are creating and supporting circular models where plastics can be used, recycled, and reused again and again. Closing the loop by replacing virgin plastic production with recycled material keeps plastics out of landfills and our environment, reduces demand for fossil resources, like oil and gas, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions.
OSLO, Norway – February 29, 2024 – Agilyx ASA (OSE: AGLX; OTCQX: AGXXF) (“Agilyx” or “the company”), a technology company that enables customers to recycle the most challenging post-use plastics to high value, virgin-equivalent products, announced today that it has reached an agreement with Americas Styrenics (AmSty), its joint venture partner, to close Regenyx after successfully achieving the objectives defined in its five year formation agreement.
Regenyx, located in Tigard, Oregon (US), is a 50/50 joint venture between AmSty and Agilyx. The company converts post-use polystyrene back into its original components for production under AmSty’s PolyRenew® label. Regenyx showcases Agilyx depolymerization technology and enables AmSty to produce new polystyrene that is used to make products with the same quality and durability as virgin plastic. Over the course of the five-year project, Regenyx diverted over 6 million pounds of post-use polystyrene waste from landfills.
“Because of Regenyx, the new circular plastics economy now has a place for polystyrene, and this essential material that improves people’s lives has even more potential for growth,” said Tim Barnette, AmSty vice president of polymers and sustainability. “AmSty is proud to have been part of this long-term project that proves advanced recycling of polystyrene is not only feasible, it is the future.”
“We are very proud of our team and our company for the important work we’ve done over the past five years in Tigard,” said Russ Main, interim CEO of Agilyx. “Building this first-of-its-kind circular recycling model for polystyrene in the US opened the door for Agilyx to progress additional commercial projects, such as the Toyo Styrene plant in Japan which is nearing completion of commissioning and will showcase the latest generation of Agilyx technology.”
The Regenyx venture achieved many milestones including establishment of ISCC PLUS certification for the demonstrated circular pathway. The venture also allowed both parent companies to develop and progress additional projects and pathways at larger scale. Having successfully delivered its defined project objectives, Agilyx and AmSty will decommission the Regenyx venture at the end of the five-year agreement. The plant will cease operations by April 30, 2024, alongside the wind down of the venture.
