Lyb aims to accelerate the recycling of hard-to-recycle soft plastic waste, which today makes up the bulk of mixed plastic waste from the consumer sector. The materials produced will be marketed under Lyb's Circulen range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In March 2023, Lyb unveiled its new corporate strategy aimed at committing to sustainable development. The company has drawn up ambitious plans to create access to best-in-class innovative and differentiated technologies as a key element of its new strategy, and has formed a dedicated Circular and Low Carbon Solutions (CLCS) business. CLCS has begun to make substantial upstream investments in plastic waste sorting and recycling operations in Europe, the USA and Asia.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9e dans les plastiques, les produits chimiques et le raffinage, la multinationale am\u00e9ricaine LyondellBasell, Lyb, annonce avoir finalis\u00e9 le rachat de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 APK situ\u00e9e \u00e0 Mersebourg, en Allemagne.&nbsp; \u00ab Nous sommes ravis de finaliser l&rsquo;acquisition de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 APK, sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9e dans les technologies de recyclage \u00e0 base de solvants.
