At the CIRCULAR REPUBLIC Festival in Munich, our VP of Global Product Development and Circular Design, Gerben Meier, joined industry leaders, startup innovators and academic experts to discuss how innovative technology and circularity are shaping the future of the chemical sector. With this year’s theme, “Build your competitive advantage,” Gerben emphasized the need for innovation, efficiency and scale to advance the circular economy. At LYB, we are working toward producing 2 million metric tons of recycled and renewable-based polymers annually by 2030. Also, construction is underway on our new facility in Germany, which will process the equivalent of the plastic packaging waste generated by 1.2 million German citizens each year. To achieve a truly circular economy, the industry needs a stable regulatory framework and long-term investment incentives. We remain committed to driving sustainable value creation and shaping the future of circular design. #LYB #CRF25 #CircularEconomy

We make circular and low carbon solutions work for businesses ♻️ The LYB Business-led Sustainability Summit in Bologna, Italy, brought together changemakers from across our value chain. Over two days, we explored innovative ways to enhance the use of recycled content and reduce carbon footprints in the plastics industry. Highlights included insightful presentations, dynamic panels and a visit to our MoReTec pilot plant at Ferrara, showcasing our proprietary chemical recycling technology. MoReTec converts hard-to-process plastic waste into feedstock for new products. Our first commercial scale plant in Wesseling, Germany, is planned to start operating in 2026, with a 50KTA unit designed to recycle the amount of post-consumer plastic packaging generated by ~1.2MM German residents annually. The summit was a powerful platform for like-minded individuals and organizations with a shared vision for a sustainable future. Our heartfelt thanks to all participants for making such an inspiring event possible. Discover our full portfolio of Circulen solutions: http://spr.ly/6047Nj0lB

We’re proud to share that our CEO, Peter Vanacker, took the stage at the Handelsblatt Annual Conference “Chemie 2025,” a premier gathering for the chemical industry in German-speaking countries. In his keynote, “Investing in Circular and Low Carbon Value Creation: How Can We Work Together to Build a Competitive and Sustainable Chemical Industry in Europe?,” Peter outlined a bold vision for the future of our industry — one that is sustainable, circular and globally competitive. His message was clear: Europe has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to lead the global shift toward sustainable business models. We are not just talking about this, we’re investing in it. LYB is planning to build a state-of-the-art recycling hub near Cologne. This facility will transform plastic waste into valuable raw materials, setting a new benchmark for industrial transformation and circular value creation. Peter emphasized the need to act decisively to strengthen European competitiveness, implement the EU Clean Industrial Deal and stimulate investments on Europe soil. The time to act was yesterday. If we take bold steps to improve our industry’s competitiveness today, we can ensure a sustainable and prosperous tomorrow in Europe. #LYB #HBChemie #Sustainability #CircularEconomy

At LYB, what inspires us to push the boundaries of sustainability is the shared commitment of our partners, customers and value chain collaborators. The Business-led Sustainability Summit in Bologna reaffirmed that real progress happens when we innovate together. We're proud to be shaping a more sustainable future, side by side.
What inspires you to push the boundaries of sustainability? Over the past two days, we have brought together key value chain stakeholders, including brand owners, converters and subject matter experts at the LyondellBasell Business-led Sustainability Summit in the historical city of Bologna, Italy. I felt proud to be part of such a dedicated community: Together, we explored how businesses can scale sustainable solutions in the plastic industry by increasing recycled content and reducing carbon footprint. Among the many inspiring presentations, panels, showcases and outside-in perspectives, I had the opportunity to speak about how LYB is making circular and low carbon solutions work for businesses through our high-performance Circulen portfolio, which includes a wide variety of cutting-edge recycling technologies, as well as innovative bio-circular options. Guests also had the chance to join a tour of the MoReTec pilot plant in our Ferrara site. This historical location, which once revolutionized the production of polypropylene, is now pushing the boundaries of circularity in our industry. Our proprietary chemical recycling technology, MoReTec, can enable products with lower carbon emissions by using renewable energy to produce a substitute for fossil-based feedstock. As the summit now closes, we feel even more committed to leading this transformation together with our partners and customers. The past few days have reinforced the importance of expanding our impact through deeper collaboration across the value chain. By building integrated ecosystems, designing products for recycling and advocating for regulatory clarity, we can enable long-term investment and drive meaningful change. #LYBSummit #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #LowCarbon #LYBProud
