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, is proud to announce that its depolymerization technology was successfully demonstrated during commissioning of Toyo Styrene’s 10 ton-per-day chemical recycling facility in Japan.
The recycling plant will convert post-use polystyrene into a styrene monomer enabled by Agilyx depolymerization technology. The styrene monomer will then be converted back into high value polystyrene products which bear a significantly lower carbon footprint than similar products made with virgin monomer.
Construction of the facility was completed in March 2024, at which time the commissioning process began. Last week, polystyrene was successfully depolymerized and converted to on-specification product during commissioning. The Toyo Styrene plant showcases the latest generation of Agilyx’s technology.
“The successful production of on-spec product during the commissioning process at Toyo’s facility is an exciting milestone,” stated Russ Main, interim CEO for Agilyx. “This achievement demonstrates the efficacy of Agilyx’s technology and brings us one step closer to project completion on the first polystyrene chemical recycling facility in Japan.”

Styrenyx is at the heart of Toyo Styrene’s advanced recycling facility in Chiba, Japan — the largest facility dedicated to the depolymerization of polystyrene waste in the country.
This innovative facility converts polystyrene waste into a styrene monomer using Styrenyx technology. The recovered styrene monomer can be used to make high-quality polystyrene products with a significantly reduced carbon footprint compared to those made with virgin materials.

In June we shared an update announcing that Agilyx’s project team, together with our counterparts at Toyo Styrene, had built and conducted factory acceptance testing in the US on the modular system that will power Toyo Styrene’s plant. We are excited to share an additional update as our progress continues.
The site prep at Toyo Styrene’s manufacturing facility in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, has been completed.

The equipment modules arrived at the site in July and the Agilyx and Toyo teams have been working together to reassemble the 10 ton per day system. The project remains on track to complete the commissioning process in the first quarter of 2024.

We at Agilyx could not be more pleased with our partnership with Toyo and the progress that we have made together toward creating the first polystyrene chemical recycling facility in Japan.

In January of last year, we were very excited to announce that our polystyrene chemical recycling project with Toyo Styrene was moving into construction. A lot has happened in that time and we wanted to share our progress and provide some insight.
Since our previous announcement, the Agilyx team has been busy designing, specifying, procuring and fabricating equipment to complete the build out of Toyo’s new pyrolysis system.

Working at a fabrication site in Louisiana, Agilyx’s project team came together to fully build and conduct the factory acceptance test on the modular system that will power Toyo Styrene’s plant.
Over the course of several weeks, we saw the equipment modules come together and evaluated the system to be sure it met specification and will perform as designed once installed in its new home in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Our counterparts at Toyo Styrene joined us on site to evaluate and inspect the equipment they will be installing and working together with Agilyx to commission.

Once the equipment arrives at Toyo Styrene’s location, the Agilyx and Toyo teams will work together to reassemble the 10 ton per day modules and begin the commissioning process of the new facility, which we anticipate will happen in the first quarter of 2024.
We at Agilyx could not be more pleased with our partnership with Toyo and the progress that we have made together toward creating the first polystyrene chemical recycling facility in Japan.

December 13, 2022 – Houston, Texas, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire – Cyclyx International, a consortium-based post-use plastic innovation company, together with the Houston Recycling Collaboration (HRC), announced the launch of its first Cyclyx 10 to 90® takeback program, expanding the materials accepted for recycling in Kingwood, Texas, to include nearly all plastics. The program launched on December 10 and collected 3,900 pounds of plastic waste in the first weekend.
“Partnerships like this are key in moving toward a circular economy that reduces the impact of plastic waste on our communities, our bayous, and our city,” said Sylvester Turner, Mayor of the City of Houston. “We’re sending a message — with ExxonMobil and LyondellBasell, top leaders in the energy and chemical industries, along with innovative companies like Cyclyx and our established recycling partner FCC Environmental Services — Houston is dedicated to impacting change and setting the example for communities around the country.”
Kingwood, Texas, is home to more than 81,000 residents across 23,000 households. To participate in the program, Kingwood residents will “bag it & bring it,” bagging their plastics in plastic trash or shopping bags, which will also be recycled, and bringing them to the Kingwood Recycling Center for collection. Plastics accepted at the center will include all numbered plastics from one to seven, such as shampoo bottles, takeout containers and dry cleaner bags, as well as unnumbered plastics such as bubble wrap, polystyrene foam (also known as Styrofoam) and plastic wrap.
“As a resident of Kingwood myself, I’m very excited that Kingwood was selected as the location to pilot this program,” said Council Member Dave Martin, Mayor Pro-Tem for District E. “Recycling can make a huge positive impact for sustainability, and I sincerely hope Kingwood residents will take advantage of this program, which aims to make recycling plastics easier than ever before.”
The HRC aims to significantly increase Houston’s plastics recycling rate by expanding both mechanical and advanced recycling infrastructure. This includes upgrading technology at FCC’s material recovery facility (MRF) to be able to mechanically sort flexible packaging, ExxonMobil’s large-scale advanced recycling facility in Baytown, a planned plastics sorting and pre-processing facility from Cyclyx, and planned recycling facilities by LyondellBasell. Plastic collected in Kingwood will be sent to the new Cyclyx Circularity Center, which, upon expected startup in 2024, will be able to chemically characterize these new sources of mixed waste plastics and prepare them for use in various recycling technologies.
Takeback programs like the one in Kingwood will be key to collecting plastic waste that is considered difficult to recycle, increasing the amount of plastics that go into a recycling pathway instead of landfill. The HRC intends to incorporate learnings from the program rollout in Kingwood into building out similar programs in other areas in Houston, including at schools, businesses, and retail establishments.
“We are ecstatic to be offering this expanded plastic recycling capability to the residents of Kingwood,” stated Joe Vaillancourt, CEO of Cyclyx. “We’ve spent a lot of time and effort on increasing the available recycling infrastructure in the area with our recently announced Cyclyx Circularity Center with ExxonMobil and LyondellBasell. The rollout of this collection program in Kingwood is an important step in increasing the supply of plastic waste that will feed into that facility, and it will be followed in the coming year by additional takeback programs in other neighborhoods, schools, and retail establishments throughout the Houston area.”
Kingwood residents can learn more about the new program on the City of Houston’s website.
About the Houston Recycling Collaboration
The Houston Recycling Collaboration was formed in January 2022 between the City of Houston, ExxonMobil, LyondellBasell, Cyclyx International and FCC Environmental Services. This new collaboration in the U.S. aims to significantly increase Houston’s plastics recycling rate by accelerating both mechanical and advanced recycling technologies. The effort brings together two of the world’s largest chemical companies, each with plans to expand recycling capacity; a leading environmental services company with deep experience in Houston; an innovative circular systems developer; and the fourth largest city in the U.S.
