Agilyx notert på Merkur Market

Avansert kjemisk resirkuleringsteknologi gjør det lettere å resirkulere plast

Oslo, 30. september 2020 – Agilyx AS, en pionér innen avansert resirkulering av plastavfall, ble i dag tatt opp til handel på Merkur Market på Oslo Børs under tickeren AGLX-ME.

Onsdag morgen inntok deler av Agilyx-styret balkongen på Oslo Børs og ringte i børsbjellen for selskapets første handelsdag på Merkur Market.

Agilyx-aksjen endte tirsdag på 32,10 kroner pr. aksje. Dette tilsvarer en økning i selskapets verdi på 79 prosent sammenlignet med 17,96 kroner i emisjonen tidligere denne måneden. Den rettede emisjonen der selskapet hentet rundt 300 millioner kroner i frisk kapital var mange ganger overtegnet, og vekket sterk interesse hos både eksisterende aksjonærer, såvel som institusjonelle ESG-investorer.

Agilyx planlegger å bruke provenyet fra kapitalutvidelsen til å øke takten når det gjelder prosjektutvikling og leveranser, videreutvikle nåværende prosjekter, ekspandere til det europeiske markedet, utvide FoU-aktiviteter, videreutvikle Cyclyx, samt generelle selskapsformål.

– Børsnoteringen markerer starten på et nytt og spennende kapittel for Agilyx, og er med på å virkeliggjøre vår visjon om en full utnyttelse av plastavfall. Nå kan vi i større grad bidra til at plast, et materiale vi alle er avhengige av i hverdagen, kan bli en del av sirkulærøkonomien, sier Tim Stedman, adm. direktør i Agilyx.

Plastavfallets rolle i sirkulærøkonomien

– Planen videre er å forbedre og videreutvikle prosjektene vi nå er i full gang med, i tillegg til å fortsette den gode driften av vårt nåværende kommersielle anlegg i Oregon, forteller Stedman.

De siste 16 årene har Agilyx, gjennom forskning og implementering av kommersiell drift, utviklet ledende industriell teknologi og kompetanse på hvordan plastavfall kan bli del av en sirkulær økonomi.

Håndtering av plastavfall er en global og presserende utfordring. I dag resirkuleres knappe 10 prosent av verdens plastavfall, mens resten havner i søppeldeponier, i drikkevannskilder og i havet.

– Noteringen på Merkur Market, kombinert med en vellykket rettet emisjon, gir oss en sterk finansiell plattform til å komme nærmere vår visjon om plast som en del av kretsløpet. Vi tror avansert resirkulering og kompetanse om råstoff er nøkkelen til å øke resirkuleringsgraden av plast fra 10 prosent til 90 prosent, sier Peter Norris, styreleder i Agilyx og Virgin Group.

Om Agilyx

Agilyx, AGLX-ME, er en pionér innen avansert resirkulering av plastavfall som vanligvis er vanskelig å resirkulere. Med selskapets kjemiske resirkuleringsteknologi og smarte system for råstoffbehandling kan blandet plastavfall gjøres om til plast med samme kvalitet som om den skulle vært ny. Det kan også omdannes til drivstoff og andre kjemiske produkter, slik at avfallsplast kan bli en del av et sirkulært kretsløp. Ikke bare har selskapet utviklet disse innovative produktene, men Agilyx har også utviklet et nytt selskap for råstoffhåndtering. Det nye selskapet Cyclyx International Inc. skal sammen med renovasjonsselskaper, kommuner, petrokjemiske selskaper og merkevare- og detaljhandelsforretninger utvikle avanserte resirkuleringsløsninger for blandet avfallsplast i lukkede kretsløp.
