A portfolio with a positive impact
In 2018, Braskem undertook a public commitment to advance and contribute to the Circular Economy . In line with this commitment, the company's Caps and Closures segment is helping to reduce food waste by using resins that increase product shelf life, in addition to producing lighter-weight and recyclable caps and closures.
New technical solutions
"The products in our Caps and Closures portfolio meet all of the segment's technical requirements, such as lightweight, processability, product safety, taste and odor control" adds Lukasz Golebiowski, responsible for Caps and Closures segment in Europe. For the beverage market, Braskem offers solutions for carbonated beverages that can be molded through injection or compression processes by using polyethylene and polypropylene resins. In the mineral water market, Braskem rigorously controls the resin's organoleptic properties to ensure the beverage's properties related to odor, flavor and color remain unchanged.
