STAMFORD, Conn., March 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Freepoint Eco-Systems LLC ("Freepoint Eco-Systems") is pleased to announce the closing of a $50 million non-recourse project finance facility for its plastic waste upcycling facility located in Hebron, Ohio. The term loan facility, underwritten by ING Capital LLC ("ING"), is the first of its kind in the developing plastic reclamation space for hard-to-recycle plastic.

"We are excited to be partnering with ING in demonstrating that plastic upcycling facilities that utilize new technology have access to the project finance loan markets," said Jeff McMahon, Managing Director at Freepoint Eco-Systems. "At 180 million pounds per year of plastic waste processing capacity, our Hebron, Ohio facility is one of the largest commercial scale facilities in the world, reclaiming waste plastic destined for landfills or incineration and upcycling it into a hydrocarbon-rich liquid from which our customers make new products. We believe that this transaction is an important first step in executing our strategy to build numerous waste plastics upcycling facilities across the globe."

Subha Pasumarti, Managing Director at ING Capital said, "We are thrilled to close this ground-breaking loan facility for Freepoint Eco-Systems' first commercial-scale upcycling facility. This transaction reiterates ING's commitment to support clients active in the circular economy and sustainability sectors. We anticipate demand for debt capital in the plastics recycling market will continue to grow as more waste plastic is recovered and recycled worldwide."
