Harsh Realities

LyondellBasell and Kirkbi have signed an agreement to make an investment in APK, which specializes in a unique solvent-based recycling technology for low density polyethylene (LDPE).

APK aims to increase the recycling of multi-layer flexible packaging materials – which today make up the majority of mixed plastic waste from the consumer sector. To this end, APK has developed the unique solvent-based Newcycling process, which separates the different polymers of multi-layer packaging materials and produces recycled materials with a high degree of purity suitable for new packaging materials.

Under the agreement, LyondellBasell, a global player in the chemical industry, and Kirkbi, the family-owned holding and investment company of the Lego brand, will become minority shareholders in APK and together with other co-investors will invest approximately 130 million Euros in APK. Further Newcyling Plants are planned to be built to increase the production capacity.

„We need to advance the recycling of all types of plastic waste material generated today to support the goal of a circular economy and meet the increasing demand for high quality recycled products,“ says Yvonne van der Laan, LyondellBasell Executive Vice President, Circular and Low Carbon Solutions. „Advancing this technology, through our investment in APK, will enable more plastic packaging waste to be reintroduced back into the value chain and will address the demand from consumers and brand owners for more sustainable packaging. Products made using this unique Newcycling solvent-based technology will be a great complementary addition to our existing Circulen product portfolio, which currently offers mechanical and advanced recycling solutions to our customers.“
