Abstract
Bio-based polyethylene was brought to the global market by Braskem in 2010. Many brand owners and converters have brought solutions to the global market displacing fossil based conventional resins. In many regions these projects have been quickly adopted while in other regions of the world, firms have move cautiously forward without switching. This presentation will review the challenges involved with bringing bio-based solutions to the market and provide case studies of where the value chain has been successful in penetrating the conventional market with renewable resources.
