LyondellBasell and Pigeon Singapore announced their collaboration on advancing the sustainable research and development efforts in baby nursing bottles.

The renewed series of the Pigeon SofTouch nursing bottles will use the LyondellBasell bio-based CirculenRenew polypropylene polymers, as part of Pigeon's transition away from using 100% virgin polypropylene resins.

Pigeon is committed to achieving its purpose to make the world more baby friendly. "Our goal is to support parents in providing the best for their babies, and this includes a sustainable environment for the children to grow up and thrive in," said Yusuke Nakata, CEO of Pigeon Singapore. "Over the past few years, we have been studying our material sources and switching to alternative options where possible. Using bio-based plastic for our nursing bottles is an exciting breakthrough and we are proud to be in collaboration with LyondellBasell to introduce this meaningful range."

"At LyondellBasell, we are committed to creating solutions for everyday sustainable living and supporting our customers in achieving their sustainability goals. Our CirculenRenew product family enables this progress," said Allen Yu, Senior Vice President of LyondellBasell, Asia Pacific. "We are very excited to collaborate with Pigeon Singapore on this project, which represents a milestone as we are supplying for the first time CirculenRenew grades for baby products."

The LyondellBasell CirculenRenew polymers are made from renewable feedstocks derived from bio-based wastes and residual oils, such as used cooking oils.
