What is Braskem`s I`m Green™ biobased renewable polyethylene?
What is I’m green™ bio-based Polyethylene (Green PE) from Braskem and how does it differ from conventional polyethylene (PE)?
I’m green™ bio-based Polyethylene (Green PE) from Braskem is a polyethylene made from renewable raw materials – typically sugarcane-based – rather than fossil raw materials like crude oil or natural gas. Chemically and in terms of performance, it behaves like conventional polyethylene (PE), so it can be processed, recycled, and used 1:1 in existing facilities and many applications.
The key difference lies in the origin of the carbon:
With I’m green™ bio-based Polyethylene (Green PE), it comes from biogenic sources, while conventional polyethylene (PE) uses fossil sources. Depending on the application and system boundaries, this bound biogenic carbon can contribute to an improved CO₂ balance.
For brand manufacturers and plastics processors, this means: You can position your products more sustainably without sacrificing proven material properties or established processes.
