Agilyx's Proprietary Recycling Technology Can Reduce Carbon Emissions by 86%

To better assess the carbon footprint of styrene, advanced recycling, and post-consumer waste circular styrene production, Agilyx commissioned Sphera Solutions, Inc. to perform a cradle-to-gate Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) in accordance with the ISO 14067:2018 standard and compare the results with the conventional production of styrene from fossil resources.

As announced in March 2025, the results have now undergone third-party verification, confirming that when Styrenyx recycles polystyrene (PS) into styrene using renewable energy, it can reduce carbon equivalent emissions by up to 86% compared to fossil-based production. When powered by the standard grid, Styrenyx can reduce carbon equivalent emissions by at least 46%. This exceeds the initially reported 38% savings from March 2025.

“Our advanced recycling technology not only enables a circular economy for plastics but also achieves a lower carbon impact. Investing in and choosing innovative solutions for plastic waste is essential for building the infrastructure needed for a low-carbon, more sustainable future, and helps address the plastic waste crisis."Agilyx Chief Technology Officer Chris Faulkner said."
