PLASTICS (Plastics Industry Association)

Recycling is Real & we’re launching a new initiative to prove it. Across North America, thousands of hardworking people are recycling every single day. These are their stories.

Each year, the PLASTICS (Plastics Industry Association)’s young professionals' group, Future Leaders in Plastics, organizes a litter cleanup as part of their mission to positively impact communities the industry serves. This year's event took place at Woodland Park in downtown Houston, TX, coinciding with this week's National Plastics Conference. With the help of 47 volunteers, we collected 51 bags of mismanaged waste. Recyclables will be directed towards a recycling pathway by Cyclyx! We’re thrilled to partner with them for this year’s Fall Sweep. 

Our CEO, Peter Vanacker, shares insights on the solutions-oriented approaches necessary to tackle plastic pollution in Sustainable Plastics. With the next round of U.N. negotiations toward a global plastics agreement just weeks away, Peter’s column outlines which policies can make a difference. Opinion: What it takes to solve plastic pollution Solving the challenge of plastic pollution requires holistic approaches focused on creating value across the environment, society and the economy. This is a critical message LYB will share in the next negotiating round toward a global agreement on plastic pollution this November. Hosted by the UN Environmental Programme, the negotiations will occur in Busan, South Korea, Nov. 25-Dec. 1. Representing one of the world’s largest petrochemical companies, my team looks forward to sharing with governments how the business of chemistry enables modern living while advancing a sustainable future.
