Xycle Holding B.V. is a Netherlands-based company focused on chemical recycling of plastics through advanced pyrolysis technology. Headquartered in Rotterdam, it converts non-mechanically recyclable mixed plastic waste—primarily polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) fractions from household and packaging sources—into high-quality liquid hydrocarbons (pyrolysis oil) that serve as sustainable feedstock for the petrochemical industry to produce new circular plastics.
The company is constructing its first commercial-scale plant in the Europoort section of the Port of Rotterdam. This facility will have an annual capacity of 21,000 metric tons of plastic waste input and is scheduled to become operational in the fourth quarter of 2026. The pyrolysis process operates at low pressure and medium temperature, achieving high conversion yields while emitting significantly less CO₂ compared to incineration.
Xycle is backed by a consortium of investors including Dow (equity partner and offtaker), Vopak (equity partner), ING Sustainable Investments, Invest-NL, and debt financing from Polestar Capital. It operates with a small team and maintains a subsidiary Xycle Europoort B.V. for plant activities. As a pioneer in scalable chemical recycling, Xycle contributes to the circular economy by diverting plastic waste from landfills and incineration, with plans for future expansion to additional sites in Europe and beyond.
