LyondellBasell\u2019s newest product offering is differential in that it uses feedstocks that are not in competition with the food chain. The renewable feedstock is supplied by Neste and is produced 100 percent from bio-based waste and residues, such as used cooking oils. The LyondellBasell product also offers a lower carbon footprint compared with fossil-based polymers, is made in Europe and will be marketed globally under the name&nbsp;<em>Circulen<\/em>Renew.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur&nbsp;<em>Circulen<\/em>Renew product offering, with measurable and certified C14 renewable content, is game-changing in the market, as it is based on content made of waste and residue materials. This solution addresses the growing market needs for renewably sourced materials with a lower carbon footprint,\u201d says Richard Roudeix, LyondellBasell Senior Vice President of Olefins and Polyolefins for Europe, Middle East, Africa and India. \u201cOur&nbsp;<em>Circulen<\/em>Renew with measurable and certified C14 renewable content products have the same properties as their fossil-based equivalents and can be used for the same end-use applications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The renewable content in this grade of &nbsp;<em>Circulen<\/em>Renew&nbsp; is measured by a third party to ensure that the carbon-14 content of the polymer is consistent with renewable feedstocks and stated as a parameter on the Certificate of Analysis (CoA). Furthermore, these new&nbsp;<em>Circulen<\/em>Renew grades are drop-in solutions and therefore don\u2019t require any modification of existing processing equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur cooperation with LyondellBasell is based on our shared commitment towards combating climate change and accelerating the shift to a circular economy,\u201d says Mercedes Alonso, Executive Vice President, Renewable Polymers and Chemicals at Neste. \u201cProviding LyondellBasell with renewable Neste RE feedstock for&nbsp;<em>Circulen<\/em>Renew, with measurable and certified C14 renewable content, is another example of this commitment.
