Pyrolysis JV Breakdown Risk

Following Scandinavian Enviro Systems announcement  that it was terminating its agreements with Infiniteria Europe Sàrl and Cuibhil Luxco in relation to their collaboration to the joint venture Infiniteria, the joint venture company Infiniteria has issued its own response to the latest stage of the saga.

Infiniteria Publishes Response to Termination Notice

As we stated in our initial reporting on Friday relating to Scandinavian Enviro Systems’s termination announcement, we are preparing a longer item on the dispute as we try to untangle the complexities of the ongoing dispute and provider greater clarity. We will publish this in due course.

In line with our reporting on Enviro’s statement on Friday, Infiniteria’s press statement has been reproduced in its enterity below:

“Infiniteria takes note of Scandinavian Enviro Systems AB’s (“Enviro”) announcement today that it is terminating its joint venture agreements with Infiniteria.

The proposed termination is not pursuant to any contractual rights but is stated to be pursuant to the Swedish Company Reorganization Act.

Infiniteria intends to fully defend its rights under law in light of this announcement. It will take every measure to defend and protect its contractual position and to deliver on its customer commitments.

Infiniteria is a joint venture between Antin Infrastructure Partners (“Antin”), Enviro and Michelin to build a leading European tyre recycling business. Construction on Infiniteria’s wholly-owned facility in Uddevalla, Sweden, began in 2024 with Enviro as its technology and project management partner.

Infiniteria is studying all options to continue work on the plant and remains confident and fully committed to completing the facility in Uddevalla as soon as possible. Starting with the Uddevalla facility, Infiniteria plans to build a leading European tyre recycling business and advance its broader European strategy.

Infiniteria reiterates that it made repeated attempts to find a common ground with Enviro, but all its proposals were rejected. Infiniteria has, throughout, complied with its contractual obligations in respect of the Uddevalla plant, including its payment obligations.”

De-Risk Your Pyrolysis Projects with Klean Industries

The breakdown between Infiniteria and Scandinavian Enviro Systems highlights a critical industry reality: joint venture structures in waste-to-energy projects carry significant execution risk.

Key developments include:

• Enviro terminated multiple agreements tied to the Infiniteria JV as part of a corporate restructuring
• The agreements included:
  • Technology licensing
  • Marketing and sales arrangements
  • Technical services and management support
• The termination removes Infiniteria’s exclusive access to Enviro’s patented pyrolysis technology in Europe
• The dispute follows prolonged efforts to renegotiate terms into a sustainable structure, which failed

This situation reflects deeper structural risks:

• Misaligned incentives between technology providers and project developers
• Overly complex contractual frameworks
• Long development timelines increasing financial pressure
• Uncertainty around revenue models and project viability

Earlier disclosures also indicated:

• Arbitration proceedings initiated by Infiniteria
• Growing uncertainty affecting project timelines and financial outlook
