Braskem biopolymer production expansion by 30%: 200,000 tons → 260,000 tons!

Aug 03 , 2023

Brazilian petrochemical manufacturer Braskem announced on July 24 that it has increased the capacity of its bio-based ethylene plant at the Triunfo petrochemical plant in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, by 30%, the Institute of Biodegradable Materials reported. A recent $87 million investment in the facility is aimed at meeting the growing global demand for sustainable products. The plant is now operating at a higher production capacity, from 200,000 to 260,000 tons per year.


Made from sustainably sourced sugarcane ethanol, Braskem's bio-based vinyl removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and stores it in products for everyday use.

The initiative is an important step forward in the company's ambitious goal of increasing biopolymer production to 1 million tonnes by 2030 and becoming carbon neutral by 2050.


Braskem's bio-based resin products are exported to more than 30 countries and used in more than 250 major brands of products, such as Allbirds, DUO UK, Grupo Boticário, Johnson & Johnson, Natura & Co, Nissin and Tetra Pak. These bio-based resins are used to make packaging, bags, toys, housewares, industrial cables and wires, packaging films, hockey rinks and reusable water bottles, among many other products.
