Company Description
PlasCred Circular Innovations Inc. (traded in Canada under CSE: PLAS and in Germany under FSE: XV2) is a Canadian clean technology company focused on advanced plastic recycling. According to company disclosures, PlasCred is transforming mixed, hard-to-recycle plastic waste into Renewable Green Condensate™, a low-sulphur, low-carbon circular naphtha used as a feedstock in the production of virgin plastic. The company positions its work within the circular economy, aiming to give plastic waste a second life and support a climate-positive future.
PlasCred describes itself as aspiring to be among the largest advanced plastic waste recyclers in North America and globally. Its business model centers on converting post-consumer and mixed contaminated plastics that are typically rejected by mechanical recycling into a circular petrochemical feedstock suitable for reuse in new, including food-grade, plastics. The company states that this approach differs from incineration or waste-to-energy methods because the output can re-enter plastics manufacturing, supporting extended producer responsibility (EPR) compliance and corporate sustainability mandates.
Core technology and facilities
PlasCred’s technology platform is based on a proprietary, patent-pending dual catalytic pyrolysis system. The company reports that this system has been developed and piloted in Canada and has been validated through more than two years of continuous operation at its Primus pilot facility in Calgary. Primus has served as a testing platform to validate the conversion of waste plastics into Renewable Green Condensate™ and to generate data on catalyst behavior, polymer breakdown efficiency, and product quality stability.
Building on Primus, PlasCred is advancing its first commercial-scale facility, Neos, at CN Rail’s Scotford Yard in Fort Saskatchewan, within Alberta’s Industrial Heartland. Company materials describe Neos as designed to process approximately 100 metric tonnes of post-consumer plastic waste per day into about 500 barrels per day of condensate. Lifecycle modeling cited by PlasCred indicates that Neos is expected to divert roughly 36,500 tonnes of plastic waste annually and avoid an estimated 51,000 tonnes of CO₂e emissions per year through displacement of virgin fossil feedstocks and traditional disposal methods.
Neos is intended to be co-located with a larger proposed facility called Maximus. PlasCred states that Maximus is engineered to launch at around 400 metric tonnes per day and approximately 2,000 barrels per day of condensate, with modular scalability up to about 2,000 tonnes per day and 10,000 barrels per day. Both Neos and Maximus are planned at the Scotford Yard site, leveraging enclosed industrial buildings, existing utilities, a 200-car siding, and direct Class I rail connectivity for inbound feedstock and outbound product logistics.
Circular economy focus and environmental impact
Across multiple disclosures, PlasCred emphasizes its role in the circular plastics economy. The company states that its process efficiently converts mixed and contaminated plastics, including PVC and PET, that are typically rejected by mechanical recycling. The resulting circular petrochemical feedstock is described as suitable for reuse in new plastics, including food-grade applications, which aligns with extended producer responsibility frameworks and corporate sustainability targets.
PlasCred highlights projected environmental benefits from its facilities. For Neos, the company cites annual diversion of tens of thousands of tonnes of plastic waste from landfills and significant reductions in CO₂e emissions compared with conventional disposal and virgin fossil production. For the larger Maximus concept, PlasCred has referenced lifecycle assessments projecting greenhouse gas reductions of more than 350,000 tonnes of CO₂e annually when fully operational.
Data, AI integration and operational intelligence
PlasCred reports that it will integrate Palantir Foundry, described as an industrial data or AI platform, into its Neos facility. According to company announcements, this integration is intended to capture real-time data on feedstock composition, facility performance, and product quality; generate auditable lifecycle assessments that verify each tonne of waste plastic is converted into new plastic; support EPR compliance; track greenhouse gas emissions and plastic-credit issuance; and build a digital twin of operations. The company indicates that this data-driven approach is meant to provide full-process traceability and AI-optimized decision-making across its business.
Strategic partnerships and market access
PlasCred states that it has formed strategic partnerships with CN Rail, Palantir Technologies Inc., the Government of Alberta (including Emissions Reduction Alberta), Alberta Innovates, Fibreco Export Inc., and a Global Commodities Company (GCC). These relationships are described as providing integrated rail logistics, advanced operational intelligence, grant funding, and market access for the company’s condensate output.
The company has disclosed a definitive five-year offtake agreement with a Global Commodities Company covering 100 percent of Neos production at a fixed price per barrel, inclusive of freight, with renewal options and rights of first refusal on future volumes from Maximus. PlasCred characterizes this offtake as providing predictable revenue visibility and underpinning long-term capital planning.
Financing, grants and project development
PlasCred has reported multiple funding milestones related to Neos and its broader platform. The company has been awarded a $5 million non-dilutive grant from Emissions Reduction Alberta to support development of Neos, and a $500,000 grant from Alberta Innovates for research and development focused on catalyst optimization, fluid properties of liquid polymers, and process efficiency in collaboration with the University of Calgary’s Centre for Advanced Polymers and Nanotechnology.
In addition, PlasCred has announced a non-binding senior debt term sheet from the Business Development Bank of Canada for up to $8.5 million in proposed financing for Neos, subject to due diligence, approvals, and definitive agreements. The company has also disclosed several non-brokered private placements, with proceeds intended for advancing Neos construction, detailed engineering, research and development, deposits on long-lead equipment, marketing initiatives, and general corporate and working capital purposes.
Corporate positioning and industry engagement
PlasCred describes itself as a transformative participant in advanced plastic waste recycling, with a stated vision of advancing toward a climate-positive future and building industrial-scale circular infrastructure. The company has been accepted into the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty, convened by WWF and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. According to PlasCred, its participation involves contributing technical insights and engaging in policy discussions on extended producer responsibility, traceability, and investment in circular infrastructure.
Through its pilot operations, planned commercial facilities, and partnerships, PlasCred presents a model that combines proprietary catalytic pyrolysis technology, integrated rail logistics, long-term offtake arrangements, and data-driven lifecycle assessment. The company frames this combination as a pathway to large-scale diversion of hard-to-recycle plastics from landfills while supplying circular feedstock to the petrochemical and plastics manufacturing value chain.
Stock and listing information
PlasCred Circular Innovations Inc. is identified in company news as listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol PLAS and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol XV2. The symbol MGPRF is associated with the company for over-the-counter trading. As a pre-commercial entity, PlasCred has reported that it did not generate revenue in its 2024 financial year and has focused its spending on engineering, pilot operations, permitting, and commercial development.
Key themes for investors and observers
Based on the company’s public statements, several themes recur in PlasCred’s narrative:
- Use of patent-pending dual catalytic pyrolysis to convert mixed and contaminated plastics into Renewable Green Condensate™.
