Cyclyx

Today’s an exciting day for the plastic circular economy! ♻️ A final investment decision has been reached for our first Cyclyx Circularity Center (CCC) in collaboration with ExxonMobil and LyondellBasell. This unique facility will have the capacity to process hard-to-recycle plastic waste to produce 300 million pounds of plastic feedstock per year. “Cyclyx is proud to be an innovator and enabler for unlocking plastic’s potential,” said Joseph Vaillancourt, CEO of Cyclyx.

Since inception, our #10To90 programs in Houston have collected over 500K pounds of plastic waste and diverted from landfill! That material is equivalent to the weight of about three earthbound space shuttle Endeavours. This milestone was made possible through the participation and dedication of the Space City residents. We also want to extend a sincere message of thanks to our sponsors, City of Houston, ExxonMobil, and LyondellBasell. Your continued support of our #BagItAndBringIt programs is appreciated and applauded. As we ramp up preparations for the Cyclyx Circularity Center's mid-2025 opening, this material is being baled and stored. Once the CCC1 is operational, the material will be custom compounded and placed on a recycling pathway.

Meet our Cyclyx Circularity Lab Manager, Mike Bilodeau! Hear his story and learn how he transformed this space into the first-of-its-kind laboratory that drives our #CyclyxSolutions. At Cyclyx, we aim to turn plastic waste into a renewable resource—and that capability is unlocked here at our CCL.

Thank you Packaging World for highlighting this collaboration! We are proud to work alongside ExxonMobil, Amcor, and Cadbury Australia, a Mondelēz International brand, to help increase the circularity of candy packaging.    Our #CyclyxSolutions create new pathways for landfill-bound plastic material so that it can be recycled. Projects such as these feed our mission of increasing the recyclability of plastic from 10% to 90%. 💡♻️🍫 

August is National Dog Month! During the dog days of summer, we are bringing a sense of sustainability and circularity to this four-legged extension of our families. According to Protect My Paws, Houston has one of the largest dog populations—with 1.2 million dogs in the city. This means the opportunity to aggregate dog-related plastic waste is great and one we at Cyclyx don’t take lightly. We want to divert as much plastic waste as possible away from landfills and place it on a recycling pathway. Much of the plastic waste associated with pet ownership can be included in our #10to90 all-plastic collection program. We currently have eight drop-off sites, and a ninth one is set to open later this week! Once they are ready to be disposed of, collect your dog’s plastic bowls, tags, and toys, and bring them to a #BagItAndBringIt location to help make a pawsitive difference. Just be sure that this is plastic only! Discover more about our 10to90 drop-off locations here: https://lnkd.in/eVxpVu4c

🎉 Great news for Houstonians! In a couple of weeks, we’re opening a new #10to90 drop-off site at the Ellington Airport/Clear Lake Neighborhood Recycling Center. Our ninth location is made possible in part by our sponsors, City of Houston, ExxonMobil, and LyondellBasell. We thank them for their continued support of our 10to90 mission.
