Volatile downstream demand lowered planned offtake, resulting in a $13.9 million buyer deficiency fee from Westlake Corporation ("Westlake"). The difference in net income for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021 was primarily due to higher production at Westlake Chemical LP's ("OpCo") Petro 2 facility in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where production was impacted in the prior-period by a planned turnaround in the second half of 2021 and the buyer deficiency fee. These increases were partially offset by lower margins on third party ethylene sales and higher interest expense. Cash flows from

Westlake Vinnolit continues to expand its lower-carbon GreenVin® product line: Effective immediately, the company also offers GreenVin® bio-attributed PVC based on renewable ethylene.


Ismaning, 17.10.2022 – Westlake Vinnolit's lower-carbon GreenVin® product line continues to expand: in addition to GreenVin® PVC, with approximately 25% CO2 savings through the use of renewable electricity (Guarantees of Origin with quality label) in the Westlake Vinnolit production chain, GreenVin® bio-attributed PVC is now also available. GreenVin® bio-attributed PVC is produced with renewable electricity and ISCC PLUS-certified renewable ethylene from biomass. The CO2 savings of GreenVin® bio-attributed PVC is about 90% *, compared to conventionally produced Vinnolit® PVC.


"Climate protection is important to us and we are constantly looking for new ways to make our product portfolio and production processes more sustainable," says Westlake Vinnolit Managing Director Dr. Karl-Martin Schellerer. "Renewable electricity and renewable raw materials, such as biomass, play a key role in this. In this regard, with GreenVin® bio-attributed PVC, we rely on non-food biomass (second generation), such as plant residues and waste materials, which does not compete with the food chain." Westlake Vinnolit sources the renewable ethylene from from OMV and other partners, replacing fossil ethylene in PVC production. GreenVin® bio-attributed PVC is both ISCC PLUS and REDcert2 certified, using the mass balance approach.


"Our customers now have the entire Westlake Vinnolit PVC portfolio available as both GreenVin® and GreenVin® bio-attributed, with unchanged product quality and processing properties," emphasizes Dr. Thomas Brock, Director of the Business Unit Vinyls, Innovation, Technology. "With GreenVin® bio-attributed PVC, we are actively helping our customers achieve their sustainability
goals. In doing so, we also support the goals of VinylPlus®, the European PVC industry's voluntary commitment to sustainable development."
* Based on a cradle-to-gate Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) study by Sustainable AG reviewed by TÜV Rheinland, in accordance with the ISO 14067 standard, taking into account biogenic CO2 fixations.

Together with Habitat for Humanity - MidOhio, Westlake Royal Building Products recently celebrated a historic milestone with the dedication of the 300th home to feature the company’s donated siding and trim materials in the Ohio region. On Thursday, September 15, the three-bedroom, two-bath single family home was dedicated and keys were turned over to the partner family in the South Linden neighborhood of Columbus.

The dedication of this house marks the 300th siding donation that Westlake Royal has made to Habitat MidOhio over the last 20 years. For this home, Westlake Royal donated 20 squares of siding, including Exterior Portfolio® Vinyl Siding and Portsmouth™ Shake & Shingles Siding, as well as Royal® Shutters, Mounts and Vents accessories. Westlake Royal’s Columbus-based employees also donated their time and skills to help with installing the building products during the construction of the home this summer. 

“Amid inflation and rising costs, the need for affordable housing today is greater than it’s ever been. Westlake Royal is proud to be part of the solution in donating building products for good quality, single-family homes,” said Steve Booz, VP of Marketing & Product Management, Westlake Royal Building Products. “Our partnership with Habitat MidOhio dates back through several company name changes and decades, but our commitment to this organization and the community of Columbus remains unchanged.” 

“When we invest in housing, we invest in the future of the entire community. Thanks to the contributions of Westlake Royal, Habitat MidOhio has brought the dream of homeownership to 300 families,” said E.J. Thomas, President and CEO, Habitat MidOhio. “We are grateful for the generous support of our donors and volunteers, and look forward to continuing our work of providing quality, affordable housing to our family partners.” 

In January 2021, Habitat MidOhio celebrated the dedication of its 1,000th home. The organization works to bring people together to inspire hope, build homes, empower families, and develop communities. For the past 35 years, Habitat MidOhio has served families through new home builds/rehabs (437), owner-occupied home repairs (350), and tithe support to its sister affiliates in Africa (331).
