Braskem Unveils Bio-Based Product Innovations At K 2025
Braskem announced that it is currently at K 2025, the world's leading trade fair for plastics and rubber in Dusseldorf, Germany. On the opening day, Braskem showcased a new generation of bio-based and circular product solutions aimed at accelerating the transformation of the plastics industry. Under its sustainable portfolio, Braskem is revealing product launches and partnerships that bring sustainability and innovation to life across packaging, healthcare, hygiene, and consumer goods. New product launches: MDO film with I'm green™? bio-based PE. Braskem introduces a new application of Machine Direction-Oriented (MDO) technology using bio-based polyethylene derived from ethanol, made with sugarcane. These films deliver enhanced stiffness, optical properties, and recyclability, enabling mono-material packaging such as flow packs, MDO labels, and stand-up pouches. The use of MDO films enables the development of structures that are more aligned with the circular economy, while still meeting performance requirements. The MDO films are developed in collaboration withazoolo, Braskem's circular packaging design lab, and converter FCO Group. The material meets regulatory requirements without additives and offers improved temperature resistance and flowability. Its updated Life Cycle Assessment study (2023) shows a carbon footprint of -2.27 kgCO2e per kg, reinforcing its sustainability profile within healthcare packaging. I'm green™? Bio-based HDPE for non-wovens: Braskem introduces the I'm green™? bio - high-density polyethylene specifically developed for the non-wovens market. Designed for hygiene and bi-component fiber applications such as diapers, this HDPE offers low gel levels, excellent processing stability, improved heat resistance, and great color stability. It performs well in both bi-component spunbond and mono-component spunbound processes, ensuring reliability in high-performance hygiene applications. According to a 2023 updated Life Cycle Assessment study, the material has a carbon footprint of -2.,01 kgCO2e per kg. EVA 21%: ultra-soft I'm green™? bio the company presents a new I'm green™? bio of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) containing 21% vinyl acetate, offering significantly improved softness and flexibility compared to lower VA grades. As part of Braskem's I'm green™? bio, this EVA combines functional advantages with a renewable origin, making it a sustainable alternative for high-quality consumer goods. Featured applications at the booth: Polytan: a leading German manufacturer of high-performance sports surfaces, is using Braskem's I's green™? bio-based polyethylene to bring sustainability to its advanced turf technologies. The Poligras Paris GT zero, the world's first carbon-zero synthetic hockey turf, was prominently featured during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, setting a new benchmark for sustainable sports infrastructure. In football, the LigaTurf Cross GT zero system offers a fully recyclable and multifunctional turf solution that supports eco-friendly organic infills and meets elite performance standards - all while helping reduce carbon emissions. bottle up & Eurobottle: reusable bottles made from I'm green™? bio. bottle up, based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, offers stylish, refillable bottles designed to reduce plastic waste and lower carbon emissions using renewable materials. Eurobottle, from Dronten, Netherlands, has over 30 years of experience producing durable, reusable sports bottles--now completely bio-based to support a circular future. This product highlights how bio-based plastics can be seamlessly integrated into premium consumer products without compromising on design or performance. Strategic partnerships: In collaboration with leading machine manufacturers, Braskem is a fully recyclable and multiunctional turf solution that supports Eco-friendly organic infills and meet elite performance standards - all while helps reduce carbon emissions.
