Cyclyx International LLC, a consortium-based feedstock management company headquartered in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has received certification through the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification PLUS (ISCC PLUS) process for its postuse plastic management systems.
ISCC PLUS certification provides Cyclyx customers with assurance that the plastic feedstock acquired for their processes satisfies conditions of being postuse and is traceable and auditable. According to a news release from Cyclyx, the designation certifies Cyclyx as a circular pathway point of origin and allows the consortium’s customers to use mass balance accounting to attribute postuse plastics to the production of their certified circular plastics and other products.
Cyclyx reports that it is sourcing postuse plastics for advanced recycling facilities, including the Agilyx Corp. and AmSty joint venture Regenyx’s facility in Tigard, Oregon, and the ExxonMobil facility in Baytown, Texas. The postuse plastic sourced for these facilities originates from more than 500 sources and already is certified as ISCC PLUS compliant. Cyclyx says it also has collaborated with other international companies and that this certification allows the consortium to source and qualify feedstocks anywhere in the world.
“We are excited and proud to have received the ISCC PLUS certification,” says Joe Vaillancourt, CEO of Cyclyx. “We understand the great need to validate the claims of recycled content made by our customers for the products they produce. This certification is the result of significant hard work by the Cyclyx team and provides validation of our unique process for chemically characterizing end-of-life plastics and ability to target different recycling options for postuse plastics as we strive for an overall goal of increasing global plastic recycling from 10 percent to 90 percent.”
