Key Takeaways
LYB partnered with Mondelez, Amcor and Taghleef on circular packaging for Marabou chocolate bars.
The new packaging uses CirculenRevive polymers to enable 75% recycled content for food packaging.
LYB plans future polymer supply from its MoReTec-1 recycling plant under construction in Germany.
LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (LYB - Free Report) has partnered with Mondelez International, Amcor, Taghleef Industries and other players in the industry to introduce an innovative flexible packaging solution for Marabou chocolate bars. The new packaging uses LYB’s CirculenRevive polymers, made with 100% attributed recycled content through an ISCC PLUS-certified mass balance approach, enabling packaging with 75% recycled content.
This move will help transform hard-to-recycle post-consumer mixed plastic waste into high-quality materials suitable for food packaging. The collaboration emphasizes the growing role of chemical recycling in supporting a circular ecosystem while maintaining the performance required for food packaging applications.
With this in mind, LYB plans to supply future polymers for Marabou packaging from its MoReTec-1 catalytic chemical recycling plant, currently under construction in Wesseling, Germany. Designed to process 50,000 metric tons of recycled feedstock annually, which will be used in LYB’s integrated circular ecosystem by converting mixed plastic waste into feedstock for polymer production.
The project depends on collaboration across the packaging value chain. LYB supplies the recycled polymers, Taghleef Industries manufactures the base film, Amcor converts it into flexible packaging and Mondelez brings the final product to consumers.
The new packaging also aligns with recycled-content requirements under the European Union’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. By integrating advanced recycling technologies, the partners are creating a solution that reduces dependence on fossil-based resources while introducing sustainable packaging for the food industry.
LYB’s shares have lost 15.8% over the past year compared with the industry’s 4.7% decline.
