Agilyx adds chief commercial officer

Tigard, Oregon-based Agilyx Corp. has announced Carsten Larsen has been appointed chief commercial officer and senior vice president of business development for the company, effective Sept.1. Larsen replaces Bill Cooper who has joined Cyclyx LLC as its senior vice president of strategic relationships.

Larsen will be responsible for driving global growth through the acquisition of customers, initiation and development of projects, Agilyx says. “He will work with business partners to expand and accelerate the roll out of Agilyx chemical recycling solutions to address the challenge of post-use plastic globally,” the company states.

Larsen has more than 25 years of industrial sector experience, most recently having served as commercial director of plastics circularity for Europe, Middle East Africa and Asia Pacific for Dow Inc. In that role, he was responsible for plastic sustainability strategy development and implementation, says Agilyx.

“I would like to welcome Carsten to Agilyx at this exciting time in our development,” says Agilyx CEO Tim Stedman. “His breadth of knowledge, experience and relationships will be enormously beneficial to the company as we further strengthen our global reach.”

Agilyx describes itself  a leader in the advanced recycling of difficult-to-recycle plastic scrap. The company says via its chemical recycling technology, mixed plastic scrap including polystyrene, can be converted to new virgin-equivalent plastics, as well as chemical products and fuels.
