ODEBRECHT BRASKEM
DESIGN CHALLENGE
The Odebrecht Braskem Design
Challenge is an initiative that
encourages university students to
develop innovative applications
in plastic for urban furniture. In
2016, in its fourth edition, the
Company expanded the project
and took it to Rio de Janeiro with
the goal of using the winning
pieces in public areas of Porto
Maravilha, the central region of
the city that has undergone a
revitalization process.
With the central theme "Urban
furniture for transforming spaces,"
Braskem offered challenges to the
participating university students
divided in two categories: Food
and Artistic Presentations; Rest
and Work. The winners were,
respectively, the Fluminense
Federal University (UFF) and
the Federal University of Rio de
Janeiro (UFRJ).
A total of 24 students participated
in the Challenge (forming eight
teams) from four institutions
with traditional Architecture
and Design courses: Pontifícia
Universidade Católica do Rio
de Janeiro (PUC Rio), Rio de
Janeiro State University (UERJ),
Federal University of Rio de
Janeiro (UFRJ), and Fluminense
Federal University (UFF).

SPONSORING THE BRAZILIAN
PARA-ATHLETIC TEAM
Overcoming is improving yourself every day. With this motto, Braskem, sponsor of the Brazilian Para-
athletic Team since September 2015, reinforced the para athletes' ability to overcome through the
sport. In Brazilian para-athletics, plastic has a practical application, since it is part of the composition
of prostheses, making them lighter and better adapted to the athletes' legs, improving performance
and comfort.
In 2016, Braskem renewed its partnership with the Association for Assistance to the Disabled Child
(AACD) and donated 18,000 tons of polypropylene to produce approximately 24,000 products, such
as prosthetics, vests, and orthopedic appliances, among others.
