Braskem is showcasing a range of sustainable polyolefins at interpack 2026, including new sugarcane-derived plastics for food contact and healthcare. The company is focusing on drop-in materials that allow brands to reduce emissions without replacing existing manufacturing equipment. A key highlight is the Medcol V7040 grade for healthcare, which reports a negative cradle-to-gate carbon footprint of -2.27 kg CO2e/kg. This move reflects a broader industry shift toward bio-based feedstocks to decouple plastic production from fossil fuels.
