Sustainability Report: Ending plastic waste
Turning Sustainability Ambitions into Real-World Action
What does it take to make sustainability a reality in the everyday lives of people around the planet?
In a June 2024 episode of the LYB Podcast, host Deepi Sidhu sat down with Tracey Campbell, LYB Executive Vice President of Sustainability & Corporate Affairs, to discuss what LYB is doing to advance more sustainable plastic products and processes for global industries.
Drawing from the LYB 2023 Sustainability Report: Everyday Sustainability, Tracey shares how the company is turning big ambitions — like ending plastic waste — into measurable action. From the Circular and Low Carbon Solutions team's mission to produce recycled or renewable polymers, to her role in the United Nations' Global Treaty to End Plastic Pollution, Tracey shows how sustainability is being woven into every part of the LYB business.
This conversation went beyond corporate goals. Tracey reflected on her 26-year career with LYB and the need for more women with STEM training in leadership roles in the plastics industry. She also opened up about the personal side of sustainability — specifically, how growing up on a farm in Canada sparked her lifelong love of gardening.
From visits to Kathmandu to life in Houston, Tracey's stories reveal that a global perspective shapes her approach to sustainability. Tracey's insights also serve as a reminder that the LYB approach to ending plastic waste and building a more circular future combines action, accountability, and a commitment to do better — for the planet and the people living on it.
