雅虎香港財經 LyondellBasell (LYB) Partners CORADIN & Dermalogica for Packaging
LyondellBasell Industries N.V. LYB recently partnered with CORADIN and Dermalogica to develop a more sustainable solution for the Greenis Dispenser, utilizing its CirculenRecover solution in the award-winning packaging. The best Post-Consumer Resin (PCR) for this cosmetics application, which required both functionality and aesthetics, was chosen by LYB in collaboration with CORADIN and Dermalogica.
LYB provided a high-quality solution in the form of CirculenRecover polypropylene polymer, which is manufactured from plastic waste via a mechanical recycling process. This solution struck an ideal combination of performance, aesthetics and recycled content. The new Greenis Dispenser, which contains more than 75% PCR, has won multiple honors, including the World Star Winner 2024 Award in the Health & Personal Care category, for its recyclability, sustainability, ergonomics and waste reduction capabilities.
The Greenis Dispenser demonstrates how recycled material can replace traditional fossil-based feedstock, enhancing circularity and environmental performance in the packaging sector. This partnership exemplifies what collaborative efforts can do in the industry — a more sustainable, high-quality, lightweight, user-friendly, and e-commerce-friendly award-winning product with a lower usage of fossil resources. LyondellBasell, through this partnership, can contribute to the elimination of plastic waste in the environment and the development of solutions for everyday sustainable living.

For the second quarter, the company anticipates seasonal demand to increase across most businesses. LYB's North American and Middle Eastern production will continue to benefit from low natural gas and NGL costs compared to higher oil-based costs in other regions.
As the summer driving season begins, oxyfuel and refining margins are likely to rise due to increased gasoline crack spreads and reduced butane costs. In the second quarter, LYB anticipates meeting market demand with average operating rates of 85% for global olefins and polyolefins assets and 80% for Intermediates & Derivatives assets.
