Agilyx AS (AGLX) -Mitsubishi Chemical announces successful trial of purification
process linked to Agilyx Technology for recycling acrylic (plexiglass) back to
virgin equivalent material, finalizing the end-to-end technology to be used in a
first-in-class commercial scale plant in Europe. 

oAcrylic / PMMA / Plexiglass, has a total market size of
more than 1.3 million tons, equivalent to ~40 Agilyx systems


OSLO, Norway, May 6, 2022 - Agilyx (Euronext Growth Oslo: AGLX.OL: OTCQX:
AGXXF) partner Mitsubishi Chemical has announced positive results following
purification trials using Agilyx technology. As part of Mitsubishi's project to
make acrylic (commonly known as plexiglass) fully circular, the company recently
ran purification trials for methyl methacrylate (MMA, a building block of PMMA)
recycled from waste acrylic (PMMA).

After proving that molecular recycling is possible on a large scale with Agilyx
technology, using a variety of feedstocks (coloured and clear PMMA, extruded and
cast PMMA, with post-industrial and post-consumer waste), Mitsubishi recently
completed refinement trials to test the purity of the final product. The
purification process worked so effectively at removing contaminants that the
result was recycled MMA with the same purity as virgin MMA.
