Tigard, OR, November 02, 2017 –(PR.com)– Agilyx today announces that William McDonough, FAIA, Int. FRIBA, a global leader in sustainable development and design, is joining their Advisory Board. William McDonough will bolster Agilyx’s strategic efforts and partnerships in realizing Agilyx’s vision of closing the loop in the new plastics economy while addressing a significant environmental problem. Mr. McDonough’s addition to the Advisory Board expands Agilyx’s breadth and depth of expertise in commercializing chemical recycling and sustainable materials management.
Agilyx is the industry leader in converting difficult to recycle post-consumer plastics into valuable petrochemical products. Based on its experience with post-consumer plastic waste streams, Agilyx has expanded its platform to be a comprehensive waste plastic recycler with a long term vision of developing many circular, closed loop recycling solutions.
William McDonough advises commercial and governmental leaders worldwide through McDonough Innovation. He has written and lectured extensively on design as the first signal of human intention. McDonough is active with William McDonough + Partners, his architecture practice, and MBDC, a Cradle to Cradle® consulting firm which created the Cradle to Cradle CertifiedTM program.
“We’re very excited to welcome Bill to the Advisory Board. As a global thought leader in cradle to cradle thinking, we look to Bill to help accelerate the momentum we have in scaling our polystyrene platform, building new feedstock supply chain networks, and progressing our research and development programs around additional circular pathways for polymers,” said Joe Vaillancourt, CEO of Agilyx.
“At this point in history, working with waste plastics is one of the most critical areas of the human endeavor. The work Agilyx is doing is a central piece of the plastics puzzle. I am delighted to be working with and learning from Agilyx in this critical field,” said William McDonough.
