MACRO OBJECTIVE
2020 GOAL
ACTIONS IN 2016
112
Renewable resources
To be among the leading
producers of thermoplastic
chemicals and resins from
renewable raw materials.
Remain the world's largest
producer of thermoplastic
resins from renewable sources.
Water Efficiency
To be among the benchmarks
in the use of water resources
in the global chemical industry
in terms of water consumption
and water reuse rates.
Production capacity of
thermoplastic chemicals and
resins from renewable raw
materials: 230Kt/yr.
Water consumption rate (m³/t):
average water consumption of
the global chemical industry
26.5 m³/t (2014)
Percentage of water reuse:
2020: 25%
2025: 30%
2030: 50%
In 2016, this macro objective reached a level of progress of 78% of the goal for 2020.
Green PE
The production of Green PE has been modernized to further mitigate impact on the environment. With
investments of BRL 7.1 million from 2013 to 2015 to reduce CO2 emissions by 30%, new equipment was
installed to reduce losses, reducing fuel consumption by the generator; as well as a new effluent reuse
system, which will reuse effluents. After modernizing its production process, the updated Green PE Life
Cycle Assessment (LCA) was launched, which identified the capture of 2.78 tons of CO₂e per ton of
product produced from sustainable resin, against 2.15 tCO2e/t identified in the previous study.
Green PE is the first product from the Brazilian petrochemical industry to receive carbon footprint
certification, an initiative that was born in the Technical Committee of the Industry Plan (CTPIN) and
the Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MDIC), which defines and guides actions for implementing
the National Policy on Climate Change in priority sectors. According to the measurement, made by
Carbon Trust and the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT), the polyethylene from
renewable origin has a negative emissions footprint, that is, it helps to sequester polluting gas from the
atmosphere. The company voluntarily participated in the certification in order to provide transparency to
information to its client relations, and to promote the adoption of this practice.
In 2016, this macro-objective reached a level of progress of 96% of the goal for 2020.
Water Consumption
In the period from 2002 to 2016, the water consumption rate improved by 4.8%, the water reuse
percentage improved by 38%, and the net effluent generation rate improved by 43%.
Reduction in water consumption rate for the fourth consecutive year, reaching 3.93 m³/t. This is about
6.5 times better than the average for the global chemical industry (ICCA 2013 - 25.64m³/t).
The net effluent generation rate reached 1.11m³/t, the best result since 2002.
Three process improvement initiatives were implemented in the UNIB1 BA, UNIB 2 RS, and UNIB 3 ABC
crackers for water recovery and reuse, totaling an annual savings of nearly BRL 2.5 million;
Completed study of four watersheds of a total of eight that will be studied. Results presented at
Abiquim's 16th Congress of the Program called Atuação Responsável (Responsible Performance).View entire presentation
