Over Syclus BV

Syclus BV is a purpose driven company that aims to produce a 100% biobased ethylene in the Netherlands as raw material for plastics using proven technology. Our ambition is to become a major producers of recyclable bio based feedstock for ethylene based polymers.

Already now a significant reduction of Greenhouse Gas emissions can be achieved by producing bio based ethylene. This is true for the production of the ethylene (Scope 1) and for end of life of plastics (Scope 3), which in Europe is energy recovery for a major part of plastics. We do not use plant oil based or wood and forestry based feedstocks for the process employed. We will use bio ethanol, a commodity already used in large volumes as a bio fuel. We expect to offer a new market to bio ethanol at the time that its use in fuels is declining due to rising electric vehicle use. Bio ethanol can be made from various agricultural feedstocks, most of which are based on a 1 year crop cycle. This means that the plastics made from bio ethylene are essentially made from atmospheric CO2, that was captured by plants, a very short time before these are used in packaging, building materials, automotive applications, paints, adhesives, clothing and many more products essential for modern society.

At Syclus we are convinced that ethanol to ethylene provides a fast, secure, affordable, sustainable and impactfull option to make plastics compatible with society's ambition for net zero green house gas emissions and increased recycling. The beauty of this solution: it can be done now and it can be done at scale.

We do not have to invent and test new materials; ethylene based plastics exists for more than 70 years. We do not have to re-invent new recycling options. We provide a drop in solution and do not have to build new polymer and compounding plants.

We can make use of proven and existing technologies to make plastics sustainable.
