PE: Paving the way for sustainable plastics.
Martin Clemesha
Braskem Netherlands BV, Netherlands
T
his lecture intends to introduce Braskem’s sugar cane based polyethylene. Polyethylene derived from sugarcane based
ethanol, produced in the center south region of Brazil, has a negative carbon footprint, meaning that from cradle to factory
gate, the biobased PE captures more carbon from the atmosphere than its production chain releases. The development of a
traditional polymer that is recyclable and from renewable resources represents a step forward towards a bio-circular economy.
Other important aspects such as sustainable sourcing, land use issues and some examples of applications will be shown. Finally,
a glance to Braskem’s R&D programs in the renewable chemicals field will be shared.
