Cyclize Secures $5M to Pave the Way for a Carbon Circular Economy with Waste-to-Syngas Innovation

Cyclize, an innovative spin-off from the University of Stuttgart, is delighted to announce that it has successfully raised 5,000,000 in funding to further revolutionize the chemical industry. With its breakthrough plasma-based process, Cyclize transforms mixed plastic waste and carbon dioxide into syngas—a crucial building block used to produce advanced chemicals such as plastics, methanol, hydrogen, and e-fuels. Unlike the conventional approach, which relies heavily on fossil resources like natural gas, Cyclize’s technology champions the carbon circular economy, offering a sustainable alternative that could help avert hundreds of megatons of CO2 emissions annually by 2050. This significant capital injection will enable Cyclize to accelerate the scale-up of its pioneering process, drive further research and development, and strengthen its position in the market as a leader in defossilizing chemical production. The funding comes at a crucial time as industries worldwide search for transformative solutions to transition away from carbon-intensive practices. With the acquired resources, Cyclize plans to build state-of-the-art pilot plants, advance its technology readiness level, and expand its collaborative network with stakeholders from academia, industry, and government bodies. At its core, Cyclize is dedicated to not only reducing the environmental impact of the chemical industry but also setting new benchmarks for resource efficiency and innovation in the energy sector. This funding milestone marks an important step on the path toward a cleaner, more sustainable future, where waste is transformed into valuable resources, and the reliance on fossil fuels is significantly diminished. As the journey unfolds, Cyclize remains committed to leveraging technological innovation to create lasting environmental benefits for generations to come.
