Our technology offers a genuine pathway for plastic circularity and enables our vision of increasing the recycling of plastics.”
This latest patent is the result of specialist in-house research and development, reflecting the deep technical know-how and commercial scale operations that Agilyx has built upon since the company was founded. The patent highlights Agilyx’s significant experience in the industry of advanced recycling, converting mixed post-consumer plastics to high quality products.
