The joint operation with LyondellBasell operates as a tolling arrangement. Sasol retains control of our portion of the goods during the toll processing, for which a fee is paid, and only recognises revenue when the finished goods are transferred to a final customer. Equistar, as subsidiary of LyondellBasell, acts as an independent agent, for a fee, to exclusively market and sell all of Sasol's Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) produced by the joint operation to customers.
