Commenting on his new role, Mr. Vaillancourt stated, “I have been associated with the company for several years and have had the opportunity to work closely with Ross and the Agilyx team over the last several months since assuming a board position.

We are excited about our new polystyrene recycling platform and look forward to working with our strategic partners to bring this needed platform to market.” Mr. Cooper commented that “having followed the Company’s progress over the last few years, it is exciting to join at this inflection point and be a part of building a comprehensive plastics recycling solution.”
