Braskem, the largest producer of thermoplastic resins in the Americas, market leader and pioneer in the production of biopolymers on an industrial scale, promotes Braskem Week - its first fully owned and 100% online trade show. The event, to be held from October 05 to 07 in three languages (Portuguese, English and Spanish), will take place on www.braskemweek.com.br and will present sustainable solutions in chemicals and plastics for various sectors, such as agribusiness, packaging, civil construction, automotive, among others.

The trade show will have the same look as a traditional show environment where visitors can browse at their own pace. Each booth will have different content representing Braskem's commitment to developing innovative and sustainable products, in addition to experts to provide individual support. Presentations will also be held during the event on various topics involving plastics, chemicals and society. Subjects include: circular economy, design for packaging circularity, sustainable development, diversity in companies and Sanitation Legal Landmark.

"We have clear global goals for 2030 and 2050, which involve seeking increasingly more sustainable projects with a positive impact on society and environment, based on circular economy concepts and practices. Braskem Week was designed as an opportunity to foster synergy between the various business segments in which we operate and, at the same time, show our capacity in developing innovative, sustainable and customized solutions according to our clients' requirements", explains Roberto Simões, Braskem CEO.

The public commitment in favor of the circular economy includes a number of efforts in setting up partnerships with clients and conceiving new products to increase efficiency, making recycling and reuse of plastic products easier. "Adopting practices committed to the circular economy is a fact for everyone and is related to various initiatives, such as reducing energy consumption, preserving natural resources, opting for usage of renewable energy, choosing processes that prevent wasting raw materials, disposing properly of material that has the possibility of reuse or recycling, among others. During the pandemic, when we face various challenges, such as how to get closer to our different audiences, Braskem Week will be an important channel through which we can expand the discussion on this topic and present our innovative solutions, bringing awareness and guiding the supply chain we are part of, thus contributing so that it can also become increasingly aware of product consumption and disposal", explains Edison Terra, Vice-President Olefins & Polyolefins Unit South America.

Braskem has been keeping up with the main market trends and working along with its clients in order to deliver more effective results to its supply chain. "We are a company that is passionate about innovation and transformation, besides valuing close and customized support to our clients in order to meet their most varied needs. Our journey is focused on collaboration, diversification and promotion of sustainable initiatives and partnerships through our portfolio, contributing towards the present, and, as a result, a better future for people and the planet", says Isabel Figueiredo, Vice-President Vinyl and Specialties.

Braskem expects to bring together a diverse audience, from industrial companies to university students who want to learn more about the company. Participants will have the opportunity to browse through the spaces on their own in Braskem Week and follow live presentations that are of most interest and strategic to their business or market they operate in.
