Braskem, the largest petrochemical company in the Americas, has entered into a partnership with A. Schulman, Inc., a leading global producer of high-performance plastic compounds and resins, to produce and market a new Green Polyethylene application: a solution for the rotomolding process. 

After identifying a market demand for more sustainable solutions in rotomolded products, Braskem started to develop a solution to enable the rotational molding of general-purpose parts, with applications ranging from toys and furniture to agricultural tools that can contain more than 50% of Green Plastic in their composition.  

A. Schulman, which contributes to the partnership through its industrial and commercial expertise in serving clients directly with products that meet market needs, will introduce the product at Rotoplas 2017, the largest trade fair of the rotomolding industry, which takes place from September 26-28 in the United States. 

In March 2017, with investments of US$ 540 thousand, Braskem inaugurated the Brazilian Technology and Innovation Center of Triunfo, RS, a complete rotomolding laboratory that includes a commercial-size Rotoline equipment.
