US polyolefin giant LyondellBasell (LYB, Houston, Texas; www.lyondellbasell.com) has announced the commercial-scale production of polypropylene and polyethylene with measurable, certified C14 renewable content.
The resin maker said these materials from its “CirculenRenew” product line utilise renewable feedstock made from bio-based waste, such as used cooking oils, supplied by Finnish oil refining company Neste (Espoo; www.neste.com). In June 2021, the Finnish company announced its long-term agreement to supply renewable feedstock to LYB (see Plasteurope.com of 21.06.2021).
According to LyondellBasell, the renewable content in the materials is being measured by a third party to ensure its carbon-14 content is consistent with renewable feedstocks. The third party, however, was not identified.
The “Circulen” brand of sustainable solutions, launched earlier this year, includes three lines of products (see Plasteurope.com of 30.04.2021). The supplier has set a goal of achieving net zero emissions from its global operations by 2050, along with an interim strategy to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030 (see Plasteurope.com of 08.10.2021).
