With only 10% of post-use plastic being recycled today, plastic waste is an enormous global challenge. Due to its chemical complexity, contamination, and inadequate infrastructure, most plastic ends up in landfills, incinerators, and the environment. This must change.

Agilyx is a leading global investment platform supporting the development of plastic waste feedstock supply to the recycling industry and a pioneer in advanced recycling technology. Agilyx supports the collection and processing of post-use plastic waste into custom-formulated, high-quality feedstock solutions for global plastic producers, and markets Styrenyx, its proprietary advanced recycling technology, to recycle polystyrene waste into recycled styrene monomers for reuse in new, high-quality products. By enabling the shift from a linear "make-take-waste" model to a circular economy, Agilyx helps solve the crisis of plastic waste and supports the global transition to a low-carbon future.
