Cyclize is a pioneering ClimateTech startup dedicated to revolutionizing the chemical industry through innovative plasma technology. By transforming waste plastics into valuable intermediate chemicals, Cyclize aims to create a carbon circular economy that mitigates CO2 emissions and reduces plastic waste pollution.
Their groundbreaking approach utilizes non-thermal plasma to gasify waste materials, producing syngas—a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide—that can replace fossil feedstocks like natural gas and oil. This innovative process not only addresses the pressing issue of plastic waste but also enables companies to achieve their emission reduction goals.
Cyclize’s mission is to defossilize the chemical industry, ensuring that carbon remains a vital component in products while eliminating reliance on fossil resources. With a focus on sustainability, Cyclize contributes to a circular economy by closing the carbon value chain and promoting resource conservation. Notably, their technology has the potential to generate carbon-negative products by using CO2 as a feedstock. The startup recently secured €5 million in seed funding to further develop its revolutionary plastic recycling technology, showcasing its commitment to environmental relief.
