Braskem Tetra Pak deal

Moscow. Dec 09, 2009.
Tetra Pak company reached an agreement with Brazilian Braskem SA, manufacturer of oil and gas products, to buy limited quantities of high density polyethylene produced from 100% renewable raw materials. Tetra Pak will use this product for cardboard packaging, as the company’s press service informed Lesprom Network.


Braskem hopes the first mill producing ‘green’ polyethylene on industrial scale to start production in late 2010. The mill is located in South Brazil. First deliveries of ‘green’ polyethylene to Tetra Pak are scheduled for early 2011. Later on, as agreed in the contract, Braskem is to deliver 5,000 tons of ‘green’ high-density polyethylene annually which will be used in manufacturing of plastic covers and other opening devices for food cans. This volume makes up slightly over 5% of total Tetra Pak’s consumption of high-density polyethylene and less than 1% of the total polymer volume procured by the company.

As a member of the World Wildlife Fund’s Climate Savers program, Tetra Pak contributes to fighting climate change and its current goal – increasing carbon dioxide emissions by 10% in 2005-2010, as said in the release.
