OSLO, Norway, January 20, 2022 - Cyclyx International, a consortium feedstock
management joint venture founded by Agilyx and ExxonMobil, has officially
announced today that Dow (NYSE: DOW) has joined the Cyclyx consortium. 

As a leading materials science company, Dow is at the forefront in driving the
transformational change that is needed to tackle the existential threats of
climate change and environmental degradation. 

Dow's membership in Cyclyx will give it access to participate in customized
takeback programs and innovations including plastic waste-based circular
feedstock specifications tailored to its specific product pathways - which will
help Dow to advance its sustainability and circularity goals. 

Mary-Jane Hogg, global director of waste strategy for Dow, will serve on the
executive advisory board of Cyclyx. 

"Cyclyx's unique approach to significantly increase plastic recycling rates
supports Dow's commitment to boost plastic circularity and keep plastic out of
the environment," said Hogg.

Cyclyx redirects more difficult to recycle plastic into recycling by tapping
into extensive data on the chemical composition of post-use plastics and using
AI and predictive analytics to put it to use. 

"Our work with Cyclyx supports Dow's collaboration on leading technologies to
enable a sustainable future with resource-efficient production of certified
circular plastics - to preserve the environmental benefits of plastics,
including the critical role plastics play in reducing carbon emissions," said
Hogg.

Dow's sustainability journey began more than 30 years ago, and today the company
is delivering against its 2025 Sustainability Goals, its third generation of
10-year goals, developed in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals, and also recently announced additional targets directed
specifically at addressing climate change and plastic waste. 

"We're excited to welcome Dow to Cyclyx and Mary-Jane to the executive advisory
board," stated Joe Vaillancourt, CEO of Cyclyx. "Dow has been very progressive
in its commitment to environmental sustainability. Dow's targets on eliminating
plastic waste in the environment align well with Cyclyx's mission to increase
the recycling rate of plastics from 10% to 90%."
