Braskem to produce bio-attributed ethylene for Oxiteno

In São Paulo, Brazil, petrochemical companies Braskem and Indorama Ventures IOD – Oxiteno have announced a partnership for supply of bio-attributed ethylene.

The ethylene is produced by Braskem and certified by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification. It is the first bio-attributed chemical product produced by Braskem from the certified mass balance approach, a concept that co-processes traditional carbon sources with recycled or renewable components to develop chemical solutions with a sustainability attribute. Oxiteno said it will use the ethylene for unspecified sustainable products.

“Braskem and Oxiteno have aligned sustainability initiatives and this partnership is of great importance for the growth strategy of both, being one more step for the industry towards a sustainable future. The initiative should define new paths for sustainability in our petrochemical sector,” said Marlisa Reche explains, Chemicals – Olefins and Aromatics Business Director at Braskem.
