energy inputs. We resumed activities partially in Ja-
nuary 2021 under an experimental business model,
following safety protocols and reducing the impact
on our capacity to meet the demand of the Mexi-
can plastic industry.
Aiming to assure continuity of operations in Me-
xico, in February 2021, we signed a memorandum
of understanding with terms and conditions for
discussing potential additives to the ethane supply
contract with Pemex, as well as for the develop-
ment of an import terminal for ethane. In addition,
we signed an agreement for natural gas transpor-
tation services with Cenegas, with a final term of 15
years. This term is subject to the signature of the
definitive ethane supply agreement with Pemex.
The ethane supply contract in Mexico is still valid
and in force to date.

Sales of our I'm green TM biopolymers (PE Verde) and
resins with recycled content grew respectively 5% and
284% compared to 2019, despite the weaker global de-
mand in the first half of 2020 due to the COVID pande-
mic. Recycled products reached 9,000 tons sold while
Green PE reached 170,000 tons sold, both historical
records. Regarding recycled products, we have expanded
our partnerships and commercial activities to all regions
where we operate.

Performance in Recycling
In all, our recycling efforts in 2020 con-
tributed to more than 5,000 tons of
plastic waste returning to the economy
through resins with recycled content.
In Brazil, we saw a 320% increase in the
number of clients purchasing resins with
recycled content compared to 2019.
This growing number of clients reflects
the stronger demand for plastic resins,
especially in the retail sector. Another
important factor is the expansion of our
capacity to produce recycled products
through new partnerships with recyclers,
which leads to greater availability and a
more robust portfolio.
One key achievement was our partnership
with Valoren to build a recycling line and
expand our portfolio of post-consumer
resins in Indaiatuba (SP). We will invest
R$ 67 million in the construction of a
recycling line with capacity to transform
250 million packages into 14,000 tons of
high-quality post-consumption resin per
year. Operations are expected to start in
the fourth quarter of 2021. GRI 301
