LyondellBasell’s executive vice-president for Circular and Low Carbon Solutions Yvonne van der Laan said: “Advancing circular solutions to meet the global challenge of plastic waste requires engagement and collaboration across the value chain to increase available material supply to meet the robustly growing demand for sustainable products.

“LOIM’s Plastic Circularity Fund aligns with our ambition to help end plastic waste in the environment and accelerate the development of a circular, low-carbon economy.”

In July this year, LyondellBasell announced the acquisition of a 50% stake in recycling business Stiphout Industries, which sources and processes post-consumer plastic packaging waste.

More specifically, Stiphout converts plastic household waste into clean flakes of recycled polypropylene and high-density polyethylene materials.
