Solutions for a better tomorrow

2025 challenged the entire chemical industry as we navigated what remains one of the longest downturns on record. Against this backdrop, LYB made deliberate business and financial decisions to preserve and grow value through the cycle and position the company for long-term success.

Winter brings two sides of everyday life – adventure in the elements and safety at home. LYB materials make both everyday edge and everyday comfort possible, enabling performance and protection all season long.

CEO Peter Vanacker spoke at the 19th edition of the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) Annual Forum held in Manama, Bahrain, Dec. 8-11. 

The Purell portfolio is available in North America. This move represents more than portfolio expansion — it marks a strategic shift in how LYB supports one of the world’s fastest-growing healthcare markets.

LYB and Henkel have partnered to create a renewable-based transparent plastic cage for Henkel’s WC Frisch/Bref solid toilet rim blocks. Made through injection molding, the cage contains 30% mechanically recycled plastics and 70% bio-circular raw materials from LYB CirculenRenew portfolio using a mass balance approach. The collaboration highlights both companies’ commitment to sustainable packaging innovation.
