CirculenRevive
Using advanced (molecular) recycling technology, CirculenRevive polymers are on their way to becoming one of the solutions that can address at scale the challenge of hard-to-recycle plastics. CirculenRevive polymers support taking plastic waste that is not easily recovered by mechanical recycling and converting it into a feedstock to produce new polymers. This allows for larger volumes of plastic waste to return back into the value chain as high-quality polymers while accomplishing a lower CO2 footprint.
-
A drop-in solution for all types of applications
-
An advanced recycling process is used to convert hard-to-recycle plastic waste into feedstock for the production of CirculenRevive polymers, using a mass balance approach
-
CirculenRevive polymers enable our customers to produce new materials for applications that must meet strict regulatory requirements such as food packaging and healthcare items
-
Are similar to virgin polymers while offering an environmental value proposition to brand owners around the world
-
LyondellBasell’s Wesseling, Germany cracker, Channelview, Texas, USA cracker, and select polymer manufacturing sites are ISCC PLUS certified
LyondellBasell is developing its own advanced recycling technology to improve the ability to transform plastic waste to feedstock for high-end quality polymers while improving the overall CO2 footprint. LyondellBasell established a molecular recycling pilot plant in Ferrara, Italy, which is processing household plastic waste at a rate of 5 to 10 kg an hour.

CirculenRenew
With renewable-based raw materials, such as used cooking oil, as a feedstock, CirculenRenew polymers offer a variety of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (HDPE and LDPE) grades that are equivalent to virgin resin quality while reducing fossil feedstock use and helping to reduce CO2 over the product life cycle. These renewable-based polymers offer the same properties in terms of product performance as well as regulatory approvals. CirculenRenew and CirculenRenew products with measured and certified C14 content (or grades) can therefore be applied, with no restrictions, to the same applications as fossil-based equivalents offering the same properties and performance. This makes these new grades a perfect drop-in solution for applications like food packaging and/or high-quality requirement films such as surface protection films.
-
CirculenRenew products are sold by issuing mass-balance based Sustainability Declaration Certificates. A third-party certification process provides traceability along the supply chain and verifies that the mass balance accounting aligns to predefined and transparent rules
-
CirculenRenew products with measured and certified C14 content products have a measurable renewable-based content which can be determined by C14 analysis. The renewable-based content is measured and stated as a parameter on the Certificate of Analysis (CoA)
-
LyondellBasell has select crackers and polymer manufacturing sites in the United States and Europe that are ISCC PLUS certified. A Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) was conducted on the greenhouse gas (GHG) claim of CirculenRenew polymers from Europe
