ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands, July 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — LyondellBasell announced today that it has acquired a 50% stake in Stiphout Industries B.V. (“Stiphout”). Stiphout is involved in the sourcing and processing of post-consumer plastic packaging waste. The company operates a facility located in Montfort, the Netherlands, with an annual processing capacity equivalent to the amount of plastic packaging waste generated by more than 500,000 Dutch citizens per year.
“Investing in Stiphout aligns with our strategy of investing in plastic waste processing and recycling companies that support our existing assets in the Netherlands and Germany and fits with our integrated hub model,” said Yvonne van der Laan, Executive Vice President from LyondellBasell, Circular and Low Carbon Solutions. “Through this collaboration, we are able to leverage local synergies with our quality circular polymer business in terms of logistics and operations. It also opens up possibilities to further expand our CirculenRecover portfolio, creating solutions for customers and brand owners in support of their circular and low carbon targets.”
Stiphout was founded in 2015 and over time has built up experience in processing plastic household waste into clean flakes of recycled polypropylene (PP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) materials, establishing itself as an innovative player in the Netherlands.
“Partnering with an experienced polymer producer will provide opportunities to further increase the commercial and operational excellence of our operations,” said Eline Stiphout, Founder and CEO of the Stiphout Group. “We are excited to partner with LyondellBasell as we share that circularity is critical to help end plastic waste.”
