ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands March 10, 2025 Dow has today announced an equity stake in Xycle, a Rotterdam-based pioneer in advanced (also known as chemical) recycling technology, alongside investors ING, Invest-NL, Polestar Capital and Vopak. This marks an important milestone in Dows ongoing commitment to transform plastic waste into high-value materials and accelerate a circular economy for plastics by further increasing and diversifying access to circular feedstock.The collective funds, comprising both equity investments and senior debt, will support the construction of Xycles first commercial-scale advanced recycling plant, strategically located in the Port of Rotterdam. The performance and efficiency of Xycles technology strongly complements our increasingly diverse global portfolio of recycling solutions. We believe that the robust financial backing and credibility of our consortium partners demonstrates the strength of the opportunity at hand to scale advanced recycling technologies; to address the plastic waste challenge and meet growing customer demand for circular products. This investment is an example of how Dow works with expert partners to build ecosystems that collect, reuse or recycle waste to meet growing customer demand.
