LyondellBasell

name: LyondellBasell
description: 'LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (NYSE: LYB) is one of the world''s largest

  producers of polymers and plastic resins, including polyethylene, polypropylene,

  and specialty polyolefins such as Catalloy and Polybutene-1. The company also

  produces chemicals, fuels, polyolefin process technology, and advanced polymer

  solutions, and operates a Circular & Low Carbon Solutions (CLCS) business

  marketing CirculenRecover and CirculenRenew recycled and renewable polymers.


  LyondellBasell has no public developer program, no API documentation, and no

  source code published in its (empty) GitHub organization. In January 2025 the

  company began the permanent closure of its Houston Refining facility — the

  263,776 bpd, full-conversion plant that was the first refinery on the Houston

  Ship Channel when it opened in 1918 — eliminating more than 400 jobs and

  exiting the refining business entirely. Profiled as a Tier 3 industrial /

  no-APIs provider for portfolio completeness.'
