Saga Pure ASA: Invests NOK 30 million in the chemical recycling company Pryme
Saga Pure ASA: Invests NOK 30 million in the chemical recycling company Pryme
(Oslo, 25 January 2021) Saga Pure ASA (Saga, OSE: SAGA) has as a cornerstone
investor, committed to subscribe and be allocated shares for NOK 30 million in a
private placement of new shares (the "Private Placement") in CRC Holding B.V
("Pryme"). Following the Private Placement Saga will own approximately 4% of the
company.
"Over the last few years the world has come to truly understand the negative
impacts plastic waste has on the ecosystems, and there is a strong need for
innovative solutions to tackle the issue. One important pillar for handling the
plastic issue is efficient recycling. Pryme has developed a solution which
combines a high conversion rate along with large scale, both crucial to improve
the economics of such operations, and by utilizing electricity for the process
also enables a potentially zero overall carbon footprint," says Bjørn Simonsen,
CEO of Saga Pure.
Pryme is a company based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands with an experienced team
with background from the recycling, raw materials, pyrolysis, chemical and
construction industry. The company will use a modified pyrolysis process to
convert plastic waste into pyrolysis oil, which will be further refined
downstream for production of new plastics.
Pryme has entered into feedstock supply agreement with Suez, a leading European
waste management company. Further the company has signed LOI with Shell
Chemicals for off-take and downstream development.
The company will use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to build the
organization and start the construction of the first plant in Rotterdam, which
is scheduled to start production early 2022.
