It was revealed last month that Pryme was undergoing a strategic realignment. The company had halted operations at its “Pryme One” plant in Rotterdam, a facility designed to process plastic waste into pyrolysis oil. In 2021, Pryme had signed an off-take agreement with Shell for the pyrolysis oil produced at the “Pryme One” plant.

However, technical issues forced Pryme to scale back the plant’s capacity. Ultimately, it proved impossible to repair or replace the reactor. The Port of Rotterdam Authority recently announced that the plant will remain permanently shut down, as Pryme was unable to secure sufficient funding to upgrade or expand the facility.
The company states that it is considering a restructuring and remains open to “strategic alternatives,” including options in Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
