Abu Dhabi, UAE — January 20, 2026
PYROCY has signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the development of a joint-venture pyrolysis project in Canada, marking the platform's first confirmed project development in North America.
The MOU establishes the framework for a jointly-owned industrial operation structured around PYROCY's proven modular pyrolysis model. The Canadian partner brings feedstock access, land, and operational presence on the ground, while PYROCY provides the technology, engineering, project development, and offtake framework — consistent with the structure applied across all PYROCY joint-venture projects globally.
Canada represents a significant market for advanced plastic waste recovery. The country generates substantial volumes of non-recyclable plastic waste and operates within an increasingly demanding environmental regulatory framework — including federal single-use plastics legislation and provincial extended producer responsibility programmes that are creating direct pressure on waste managers to demonstrate advanced recovery solutions beyond landfill and mechanical recycling.
The signing comes directly in the wake of PYROCY's booth presence at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2026, where the platform's operational credentials and international project pipeline were presented to a global institutional audience. The Canada MOU is the first confirmed development to follow the ADSW event, and is not expected to be the last.
With this signing, PYROCY's confirmed international project pipeline now spans six countries across four continents — Kazakhstan, Spain, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Colombia, and Canada — alongside two plant contracts in Portugal, all within five months of the platform's formal launch in September 2025.
José Marques, CEO of PYROCY, stated: "Canada is our entry into North America and our first MOU signed in the immediate aftermath of ADSW. The momentum from Abu Dhabi is translating directly into pipeline — and Canada is a strong market with serious regulatory drive and the industrial infrastructure to support a project of this scale."
