Transformative solutions
Transformative solutions
At LYB, we’re capitalizing on growing demand and unlocking long-term growth by pioneering transformative solutions that extend the life of plastics, reduce the use of fossil feedstocks, and cut carbon footprints. Through our full portfolio of circular and low carbon solutions, our innovative recycling technologies, and our integrated ecosystem approach we are delivering value to our stakeholders and helping advance the circular economy.
Polymers help make everyday sustainable living a reality — from the freshness of the food we eat, to the safety of the cars we drive and the efficiency of the electronics that power our homes. At the same time, plastic pollution is a critical issue. Circularity — where materials remain in use through recycling and reuse rather than being discarded — offers one of the solutions to this challenge. Increasing consumer awareness and evolving regulations are driving demand for circular and low-carbon products, and we are building a leading Circular and Low Carbon Solutions business at scale to meet this demand.
We are delivering circular and low carbon solutions through our portfolio of recycled and renewable-based polymers, investing in sorting and recycling technologies, and leveraging and enhancing our existing infrastructure to create an integrated ecosystem to bring global scale and continuous innovation.
With a full portfolio of high-performance solutions, technical and commercial expertise, and an integrated ecosystem offering global scale and continuous innovation, we are rapidly becoming the partner of choice for brand owners.
Our portfolio of high-performance recycled and renewable-based polymers supports reducing plastic waste by using recycled materials as feedstock and a lower carbon footprint through the use of bio-circular content to replace feedstock from fossil-based sources.
MoReTec chemical recycling
Our proprietary MoReTec chemical recycling technology breaks down post-consumer mixed plastic waste, which is unsuitable for mechanical recycling, and converts it into pyrolysis oil and gas for use as feedstock to produce new plastic materials.
There are many economic, social and environmental benefits of a circular economy. For example, recycling reduces reliance on fossil fuels, reducing associated greenhouse gas emissions.
