Agilyx elects 2 board members

Tigard, Oregon-based Agilyx AS, which chemically recycles plastic into chemical intermediates, fuels and virgin-like plastics, has announced changes to its board of directors. The company has elected Tim Stedman, Agilyx CEO, and Catherine Keenan of Catherine C. Keenan LLC to its board of directors.

Stedman joined Agilyx in August after serving as the senior vice president of strategy and corporate development at Trinseo, a global materials company focused on the manufacturing of plastics, latex and rubber. Prior to his time at Trinseo, Stedman spent more than 20 years at ExxonMobil Chemical in various senior operational and business roles.

“I’m excited to build on the company's strong track record and accelerate the growth of the company, particularly as it expands in Europe. Together we are making plastics circularity a reality,” Stedman says of joining the board.

Keenan has more than 32 years of experience in the chemical and plastics industry with experience in strategy development, government and public affairs, sustainability, crisis management, stakeholder engagement, branding and reputation management. “Agilyx is a pioneer in technologies that can economically depolymerize waste and convert it to useful monomers that can be made into new plastics, which is a true a game-changer for the chemical and plastics industry,” she says. “These innovations are helping advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, and Agilyx is aligned with the desires of brand owners and consumers to use more recycled plastics and create a truly circular economy. I’m excited to help Agilyx advance its vision.”

“I am very pleased to welcome Tim and Catherine to Agilyx.  They strengthen a team that already has a demonstrated leadership position in commercial advanced recycling technologies,” says Pete Norris, chairman of the board at Agilyx. “With their skills and experience we are ready to accelerate our exciting growth program and address the challenge of making plastics circularity a reality.”
