Circular economy as a business opportunity. Braskem’s strategy of transition to the circular economy is based on mechanical and chemical recycling, carried out through partnerships for the transformation of plastic waste into new products and for the development of innovation and technology, to that expand the capacity of collection, sorting and transformation of plastic waste, leveraging the recycling business. By 2030, Braskem wants to be globally recognized as a company that develops the recycling value chain in the regions where it operates and wants to reach the leadership of the theme in the Americas.

2030 Objectives. To increase the sale of recycled products, to work on preventing the disposal of plastic waste, and make the products increasingly more circular. In this sense, the Company has the following goals: (i) to sell 300 thousand tons per year of products with recycled content by 2025, and (ii) to recover 1.5 million ton of post consumption plastic per year through direct and indirect actions and increase the sale of products with recycled content to 1 million tons a year. To this end, the following partnerships were formed:

• Valoren (BR): technological development and construction of the first advanced recycling unit in Brazil, in partnership with Valoren, integrating and bringing synergy with the mechanical recycling line on the same site. The Company’s contribution will be R$44 million, to enable the construction of the unit by Valoren. In addition, the project is expected to start operations in early 2023.
• Tecipar (BR): agreement for the purchase of plastic waste that enabled the construction of a triage plant with capacity to provide 2kt/year in waste.
• Alcamare (MX): partnership with the largest recycler in the region, working together to develop and sell recycled PE and PP grades.
• Cyclyx (US): consortium-based entity that aims to develop innovative recycling solutions for all types of post-use plastics.
• Circular Packaging Development Center (BRA): construction of an innovation hub, through which the company will establish partnerships with customers, brand owners, designers, startups and universities to develop more sustainable packaging. The investment will be R$20 million and the Center is scheduled to open in the first half of 2022.

To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Braskem works in alignment with the Paris Agreement, based on a climate change mitigation and adaptation plan, which aims to reduce, offset and capture emissions, as well as adapt its operations to potential climate risks. Thus, it has contributed significantly to the fight against climate change, through energy efficiency in its operations, increased use of renewable energy and expansion of the portfolio of chemicals and polymers from renewable sources.

2030 and 2050 Objectives. To reach carbon neutrality by reducing and compensating emissions, through renewable raw material, and carbon capture. Thus, it intends to (i) reduce its Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 15% by 2030, through the purchase of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects; (ii) to reach carbon neutrality by 2050, through energy efficiency, purchase of renewable energy, compensation, and carbon capture, and (iii) achieve 1.0 million tons of bioproducts production capacity by 2030.

To achieve these goals, the Company is working on the following fronts:

• Energy Efficiency: energy efficiency projects, oriented by digital tools and internal carbon pricing applied to new investments.
• Renewable Energy: long-term agreements for the purchase term agreements for the purchase of renewable energy that, until now, total 1.5 million tCO2 avoided during the term of the agreements
• Carbon Offset: additional 60kt in the production capacity of Green Ethylene in Triunfo/BR, with a US$61 million investment, in addition to feasibility studies for other expansion projects.
• Innovation and Technology: (i) technology development for carbon capture and its use as a raw material, in partnership with the University of Illinois, (ii) partnership with Haldor Topsoe for the development and production of Green MEG, carried out from sugarcane, and (ii) partnership with Sojitz, a chemical and polymer distributor with a strong presence in the Asian market, to set up a joint venture for the production and sale of bio-MEG (monoethylene glycol) and bio-MPG (monopropylene glycol).
