tic, and the company plans to open a new facility in
the second half of 2021. Additionally, we joined the
Polypropylene Recycling Coalition, a group committed
to increasing PP recycling, to ensure this material is
widely recovered and reused in final markets, including
food and beverage packaging, consumer goods and
automotive parts.
We also made our first sales of recycled resins in Mexico
and Europe, and will soon announce partnerships to boost
our operations in recycled products in those regions.
In 2020, we closed an agreement with the environmental engineering company
Tecipar through which we created a sorting plant for the separation of solid and
organic waste collected by the municipalities of Barueri and Santana de Parnaíba.
The screened plastic will be directed to a Braskem recycling partner, and the
recycled resins they produce will then become raw material for new Braskem plastic
products. The project is expected to prevent 2,000 tons of plastic waste from being
dumped annually at the Santana de Parnaíba landfill. This total is equivalent to
approximately 36 million plastic packaging items.
Some of our recycling projects
TM
⚫ ABSORBENTS: A partnership between Braskem, Johnson & John-
son and Mega Embalagens has strengthened our I'm green
Recycled portfolio. The flexible packaging of the Always Free
absorbents are now produced with 33% post-consumption resin
obtained from flexible packaging reverse logistics. This is the first
flexible thin film packaging in hygiene manufactured with 33%
post-consumption resin.
.
"ANA DE AÇÚCAR": A joint effort with footwear brand Anacapri ena-
bled the launch of a slip-on called, "Ana de Açúcar", made from our
biobased, I'm greenTM EVA derived from sugarcane ethanol. Thanks to
its renewable origin, this widely used material in the footwear industry
captures 2.1 tons of CO2 for each ton produced. I'm greenTM EVA is as
flexible, light and resistant as conventional plastic resin, preserving
product quality and design.
• TRAMONTINA ECOLOGICAL LINE: Tramontina's ECO decoration
line features products made with I'm green™ materials. The line was
expanded in 2020 with a new model of the Aztec ECO Vase in their
Basic line. Armchairs, chairs, vases, cachepots and watering cans are
other items in the ECO line, which grew its market share by 54% in
2020 compared to 2019.View entire presentation
