We identify, de-risk, and scale pyrolysis assets across the EU — converting contaminated mixed plastic waste into marine and petrochemical-grade fuel, recovered carbon black, and grid-ready energy.
Europe generates over 32 million tonnes of plastic waste every year. Less than 30% is recycled. The rest is buried, burned, or shipped out — and every one of those exits is now being legislatively closed, simultaneously, with no credible replacement at scale.
This is not a slow-moving environmental problem. It is a structural industrial crisis arriving on a fixed regulatory timetable — with binding EU deadlines, carbon costs, and export bans that cannot be deferred. The processing capacity Europe needs does not yet exist. The infrastructure gap is real, it is large, and it is growing every year.
Our proprietary reactor design solves the core technical failure mode of conventional pyrolysis when processing contaminated feedstock.
Every major EU environmental directive simultaneously creates structural demand for this facility's capacity — without Pilgrim needing to compete for it.
Contaminated, mixed, hard-to-recycle plastic. The material mechanical recyclers reject — and that most pyrolysis operators won't touch either. As disposal alternatives become too expensive or too regulated to absorb, we remain the exception.
Our flagship facility operates in Slovakia, at the centre of the Central European logistics corridor with practical feedstock access spanning Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria, and Hungary. Expansion across the EU is actively underway.
Discuss a Gate-Fee Arrangement →Every batch independently lab-tested before dispatch. Committed full-volume offtake structure across two end markets — marine bunker fuel and petrochemical feedstock.
Pilgrim is a specialist private capital sponsor filling one precise gap: between a working reactor and a profitable circular infrastructure operation.
Each of our pipeline counterparties has independently validated the pyrolysis model in their jurisdiction. They are waiting for the Slovakia commissioning as proof-of-concept — not to be convinced of the concept.
Our core team combines financial structuring expertise with deep pyrolysis engineering experience — accumulated across multiple plant builds and commercial deployments in EU.
