Braskem delivers scalable circular solutions that strengthen the packaging value chain and advance a lower‑carbon future.

Braskem (B3: BRKM3, BRKM5, and BRKM6, NYSE:BAK, LATIBEX: XBRK) the largest polyolefins producer in the Americas, as well as a global market leader and pioneer producer of biopolymers on an industrial scale, will be at interpack 2026 in hall 9, booth A32, presenting packaging solutions made from bio-based, recycled and traditional polyolefins, enabling circular plastics, end-to-end. At interpack, Braskem will highlight I'm green™ bio‑based polyethylene grades specifically engineered for food‑contact applications, as well as Medcol V7040, a new grade for Healthcare and Hygiene. These innovations mark the first time Braskem has offered sustainably sourced sugarcane‑derived plastics for these segments.

In an environment where packaging decisions are increasingly evaluated on both sustainability ambitions and business impact, Braskem positions itself as a materials partner offering multiple, complementary pathways toward circularity and lower emissions. Rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all solution, the company's portfolio is designed to help brands and converters advance at their own pace—using drop‑in materials that integrate seamlessly into existing operations.

"Today's packaging challenges require pragmatic solutions," said Walmir Soller, Vice President for North America, Europe and Asia (NAMEA). "Sustainability goals must be supported by materials that deliver performance, scalability and supply reliability. Our portfolio—from renewable to recycled together with conventional resins—allows customers to choose the solutions that best fit their technical, regulatory and business resilience realities while moving forward on transitioning into a low carbon circular economy."

Braskem will spotlight its expanding product portfolio to support a circular plastic economy that keeps carbon in the loop through interactive displays, real-life examples and expert sessions. Attendees can expect to explore:
