Several years ago the company launched with plans to create oil from low-value, post-consumer plastics, something no other company had managed to cost-effectively achieve. Now, with global petroleum prices in a prolonged slump, the theoretical price advantage of oil created from alternative sources has disappeared, and Agilyx last month announced it was shifting its business focus.

Another ribbon-cutting ceremony for a recycling plant for Agilyx. Once again Agilyx is fresh out of the development stage and firmly into...the development stage.

At least in that article Agilyx is saying they're still in development. I'm not sure what milestone was unveiled with the latest plant. How many years has Agilyx been in operation so far??

These plastic pyrolysis vanguards could save their investors so much money if they only did some back-of-the-envelope calculations first. Unfortunately that would also mean no investor-funded paychecks, once again clearly defining the term, "Agency Problem."
