Advanced recycling: key to unlock plastic waste circularity

European plastics end-of-life management in 2020 (Mt) **

* 19 million tons per year of plastic waste unrecycled in the EU

Advanced recycling is required to achieve meaningful scale in the circularity of plastic by complementing the limited plastics recycling feasible for mechanical recycling.

Pryme One: starting up installation attracts ample waste supply

Pryme's technology flexibly handles varied polyolefin & contamination contents.

Pryme starting up has attracted firm interest from established waste processors.

Pryme focused on a pragmatic approach to plastic waste sourcing:

  • Pryme integrating with existing waste systems avoids the need for extra investments ensuring a reliable and available feedstock supply.
  • RDF pellet producers efficiently convert post-consumer & industrial plastic waste bales.
  • This includes shredding, gravity separation, dust & metal extraction, drying & densification.
  • The output meets density/moisture standards without solids, safeguarding equipment's.
  • The quality of the input bales determines the final polyolefin content.
  • Europe has an adequate supply of baled material meeting Pryme's specifications.

Pryme is currently working with more than 8 waste suppliers.

These feedstock suppliers provide varying qualities of feedstock in order for Pryme to determine the optimal feedstock blend/mix.

Pryme working with RDF producers aligns with our IMPACT purpose of diverting plastic waste from incineration while reducing emissions.

* RDF: Refuse-Derived Fuel

Availability of pre-processed densified plastic waste is expected to exceed Pryme' demand.

Pryme One: up to 40k tons plastic waste through one reactor

PRYME'S TECHNOLOGY EDGE: High-capacity reactor with precision heat controls

Key differentiators

  • Delivers up to 7x the capacity of competitor reactors in use.
  • Superior core temperatures compared to existing thermal technologies.
  • Improved temperature control for optimized thermochemical cracking.
  • Yields plastic pyrolysis oil with increased quality consistency.
  • Dry odourless, free flowing ash residue evidencing complete reaction.

Strong fundamentals for Pryme and advanced recycling

  • Pryme focuses on efficiently converting plastic waste into PPO, prioritising volume & scale.
  • Upgraders / petrochemicals demonstrate flexible PPO intake specifications to supply circular products to consumers.
  • Pryme successfully secured, for its first two plants, three PPO sales contracts with prominent downstream players.
  • Market Projections indicate that demand for pyrolysis oil will exceed supply for the foreseeable future strongly supported by EU regulations mandating all packaging material to be recyclable by 2030.
  • The entire supply chain is gearing up for the increased demand from advanced recycling; feedstock suppliers, petrochemicals, chemicals and brand owners.

Shells PPO upgrading unit starting up in 2024 and is partly supplied by Pryme One.

Market developments validate Pryme's strategic role in pioneering the circular plastic value chain And focusing on converting plastic waste into plastic pyrolysis oil (PPO).

Pryme One: Production Status

  • Pryme's focus regarding the start of production at Pryme One has been on verifying the technology and improving the production process. The Pryme One installation technology is based on proven technology blocks although the application for the purpose of processing plastic waste is new.
  • As Pryme One is a pioneering installation, the hot commissioning of the plant has highlighted many areas for improvement. Such improvements have been implemented during the period following the production of first oil.
  • The optimization of the processes and installation has been the primary focus rather than producing the highest possible volume of pyrolysis oil. Pryme One is Pryme's first installation serves as a basis for Pryme's future plants. Thus, the focus on optimizing the processes.
  • Since the production of first oil at Pryme One, almost 20 production runs at varying lengths and production rates have taken place. During these runs around 170 metric tons of pyrolysis oil have been produced. The majority of this oil has been sold to customers. More than 250 tons of plastic waste has been processed.
  • The Pryme One production process is based on the feeding from 2 extruders into a single reactor. To date, all the production has taken place by utilizing one extruder only. The start-up of the second extruder is scheduled for September 2024. When running both extruders simultaneously Pryme expects to be able to approach the 5 tons per hour nameplate capacity for the reactor. The highest production rate to date has been around 2.7 tons per hour through a single reactor, most likely the highest ever production rate for a European production facility.
  • The various production runs have utilized many qualities and sources of feedstock providing valuable learnings to Pryme.
  • Multiple process improvements have been implemented since the first oil was produced. Most of these improvements are related to optimizing the reliability of the installation for longer production runs.
  • The ambition for Pryme One is to achieve stable production levels in Q4 2024.

Pryme has converted more than 250 metric tons of plastic waste into more than 170 metric tons of pyrolysis oil in 2024 at rates of up to 2.7 tons per hour of plastic waste input.

** Pryme One in 20 24 represents a ramp up year. Pryme anticipates the ramp up process to continue into 20 25. The figures for "Pryme One 20 24" represent run rate figures and may not reflect actual FY 20 24 performance.

Current market prices, already signed oil supply agreements, advanced technology and large-scale efficient operations provide for attractive plant economics for Pryme.

Pryme: gearing up for an ambitious rollout

  • Pryme One offers valuable insights for our next commercial scale plants. It will serve as the technical basis for Pryme's future plants
  • Pryme has concluded a pre-feasibility study of potential future plant sites. The number of sites have been narrowed down to 6 sites.
  • The number of sites will be narrowed down to 3 sites in the next months followed by commercial analyses and permit applications.
  • In parallel, work is largely completed for a BOD (basis of design) for Pryme's future plants. This will be followed by more detailed engineering activities.
  • The speed of the rollout of new plants will be determined by access to funding, finalizing terms for each site and obtained permits which all are prerequisites for the start of construction.
  • In order to compress lead-times, some of the workstreams will be overlapping, for example by constructing skid plant modules.

Pryme aims to start production at Pryme's next plant in the 2027 :

Pryme intends to finalize feasibility studies, obtain permits and conclude project approvals for up to three plants within the next 12-18 months, pending successful funding being obtained.
