Braskem Petrochemical Receives Sustainability Certification for Its Units in Bahia

The company received this month the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification for the use of circular and renewable raw materials in the production of resins and chemicals at its units in Camaçari, Bahia. From now on, these plants will be able to use alternative raw materials in their production processes, such as pyrolysis oil or circular oil, which is produced from pyrolysis, a chemical process.

The achievement of the certification is part of the petrochemical company’s efforts to eliminate plastic waste. Thus, the company will expand its portfolio of recycled products to include 300,000 tons of thermoplastic resins and chemical products with recycled content by 2025 and 1 million tons of these products by the beginning of the next decade.

The company also plans to eliminate 1.5 million tons of plastic waste that would be sent to landfills, incineration, or that would be disposed of in the environment. According to Braskem, the document also represents the continuation and expansion of the permission granted to the company to advance in the manufacture and commercialization of industrial products from circular raw materials.
