    LYB and Bosch Power Tools were recognized at the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe in the Household and Leisure category. Craftspeople know that a tool case has to perform reliably, even under demanding conditions. Several models in the Bosch L-Boxx family (L-Case 1,3 & 3AC, Carrying Case 4.3) and, in the near future, the L-Boxx Contractor, combine durability with circular materials. These cases are made with more than 70% recycled polypropylene sourced from post-consumer waste, while still meeting Bosch Power Tools’ strict drop-test standards. The recycled plastic comes from the Closed Loop Preparation Center in Germany, strategically led by LYB and operated by Reyond GmbH, where post-consumer waste is collected, sorted and mechanically processed into high quality materials. A practical example of how circular solutions perform in demanding, everyday use. Congratulations to all teams who made this possible!

    BIC had the opportunity to join the Economic Alliance Houston Port Region Economic Development Taskforce tour focused on “The Process,” offering a great look into the operations that power the local petrochemical industry. The group toured LyondellBasell’s La Porte site alongside more than 40 taskforce members, gaining a firsthand view of how the facility produces materials used in many everyday products. From packaging and coatings to automotive safety glass, the experience highlighted how deeply connected these operations are to daily life. Beyond production, the tour also reinforced the impact these facilities have on the surrounding community. LyondellBasell continues to provide stable, well-paying jobs while supporting schools and community services across the region.

  • Watch our CFO Agustin Izquierdo on CNBC earlier this morning as he talks about how the global macro environment is shaping company performance and the mid- to long-term implications for petrochemical markets in the context of value creation.

    I want to thank Morgan Brennan for the thoughtful conversation on CNBC’s #MorningCall today. We addressed how the global supply shock from the Iran war is affecting the business of chemistry and how #LYB is effectively managing through it. On the hills of our #firstquarter results, we also covered: - The continuing progress underway to manage our portfolio as part of our focus on being the lowest-cost producer delivering the essential materials society needs; and - How we see the war-induced market imbalance shaping the next few quarters and its role in the pre-conflict oversupply environment.

    2026 1Q #LYBResults: “The global cost curve for petrochemicals has materially steepened with the onset of war in the Middle East and is unlikely to revert to pre-war conditions anytime soon. LYB is moving quickly and decisively to increase production to help fill the gap in global supply for our essential products and improve security of supply for our customers. We are leveraging the lowest delivered cost with advantaged assets in North America and passing through higher raw material costs in Europe to profitably serve local demand,” says CEO Peter Vanacker. “The sequential improvement in our first quarter results was driven by operational discipline and commercial execution. Our deliberate portfolio actions, supported by our Value Enhancement Program and reductions in fixed cost through the Cash Improvement Plan, increase our capability to capture long-term value. We remain focused on cash generation while prioritizing safe and reliable operations that allow us to expand our earnings potential in 2026 and beyond.” Read our earnings press release here: http://spr.ly/6045BBr96z

    At LyondellBasell (LYB), we're working to deliver solutions that drive a lower impact across a number of industries. Flexible packaging is one of the hardest things to recycle, but our team is working diligently to make flexible packaging more recyclable, helping to address emerging regulatory needs for our customers. In his presentation at this year's #PackagingRecyclingSummit in June, my colleague Chris Schmidt will talk about how improved packaging design and the use of materials sourced from recycled and bio-circular feedstocks are helping those in the #Packaging industry lower their environmental impact and address new and emerging #EPR rules, particularly around flexible packaging solutions. Interested? Take a look at the agenda below and sign up today! #circularity #sustainablepackaging #prs2026

    Flexible packaging is everywhere. It's lightweight, functional, and cost-effective. It's also one of the hardest packaging formats to recycle at scale. So how do you actually make it more sustainable — not just in theory, but in practice, across real supply chains and real recovery systems? That's exactly what Chris Schmidt, Sr. Circularity Commercial Strategy Manager at LyondellBasell, is tackling in his PRS26 session: "How Do You Actually Deliver Lower-Impact Flexible Packaging?" If flexible film is any part of your packaging portfolio, this one is worth the trip alone.

    I had the pleasure of speaking on a panel of industry leaders at the 12th ICIS World Polyolefins Conference in Brussels. We exchanged views on the structural challenges facing the European chemical industry, as well as the short‑ and long‑term opportunities ahead — and the pathways to pursue them, whether through innovation, collaboration, sustainability, and circularity.   The discussion confirmed to me that LyondellBasell is strongly positioned with its deliberate strategy to grow and upgrade the core, build a profitable circular and low‑carbon solutions business, and step-up performance and culture. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #LowCarbon #LYBProud #Plastics #ICIS

  • Innovation and advanced technology are driving the future of circularity. Congratulations to the Circularity Lab team at our Cincinnati Technology Center (CTC) for winning the 2026 Leadership in Sustainability Innovation Award from the PLASTICS (Plastics Industry Association).

    Congratulations to LyondellBasell (LYB) for winning the Leadership in Sustainability Innovation Award with its Circularity Lab! The LYB Cincinnati Technology Center (CTC) Circularity Lab brings key stages of the mechanical recycling value chain— from postconsumer bales to finished products—together under one roof. By combining pilot scale recycling, material characterization, application development and accredited testing in a single workflow, the lab enables rapid, real-world evaluation of recyclability, performance and manufacturability. This end-to-end approach breaks down traditional silos and accelerates commercial-ready recycled solutions, contributing to ongoing efforts to advance circularity in plastics. #CircularEconomy #PlasticsSustainability #MechanicalRecycling #Innovation #DesignForCircularity
