Westlake Global Compounds, a leading provider of PVC compounds,

leading recycler of industrial PVC. This collaboration will
leverage Westlake Global Compounds' expertise in PVC compounds with
Westlake Dimex's expertise in recycled materials, helping Westlake
Global Compounds in its efforts to reduce waste and its
environmental impact.
"Westlake Global Compounds and Westlake Dimex will continue our
efforts to reduce our environmental footprint and expand our
participation in recycling and investment in products that
contribute to sustainability,” said Renee Havrilla, vice president
of Westlake Global Compounds and Westlake Dimex.
The partnership will focus on the reprocessing of Westlake

compounding.
Westlake Dimex has achieved nine GreenCircle Certified Recycled

Andy Antil, Westlake Dimex general manager, looks forward to the
partnership with Westlake Global Compounds. “Westlake Dimex is
continually focused on finding new ways to contribute to the
circular economy. Our compounding operation helps close the loop by
utilizing post-industrial and post-consumer scrap to avoid
burdening landfills by processing these waste materials into new
compounds for eco-conscious customers or our own use. We are
delighted to partner with Westlake Global Compounds to enhance
their portfolio with recycled alternatives to prime materials for
sustainability-minded customers. Dimex’s complete service model
provides PVC, TPE/TPV and TPO recycling services, including
collection, processing and pelletizing, and then returning the
materials to the market. This partnership with Westlake Global
Compounds will expand our tolling operations and offerings into
international markets, while contributing to Westlake’s continued
waste reduction and recycling efforts.”
