PHILADELPHIA, May 6, 2025 - Â鶹¾«Æ· (B3: BRKM3, BRKM5, and BRKM6; NYSE: BAK; LATIBEX: XBRK), a global market leader and pioneer producer of bio-polyethylene, proudly celebrates the 15^th anniversary of its groundbreaking I'm green^TM bio-based portfolio. In line with this milestone, Â鶹¾«Æ· is reinforcing its strategic focus on further developing the I'm green^TM bio-based offerings and its unwavering commitment to supporting the industry and brand owners in their sustainability journey.

Â鶹¾«Æ· begins celebrating 15 years as a producer of the I'm green^TM bio-based portfolio by celebrating the 37% expansion in production capacity at the green ethylene unit in Triunfo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Now, our production capacity is 275,000 tons/year of green ethylene, which is the raw material used in the production of Â鶹¾«Æ·'s I'm green^TM bio-based polyethylene. In 2010, when we started operations, our capacity of green ethylene was 200,000 tons/year. Green ethylene offers the same quality and versatility as fossil-based products, but with the added benefit of capturing about two tons of carbon dioxide for every ton produced, measured throughout its production chain up to Â鶹¾«Æ·'s gate. This additional capacity in biopolymer production will represent the capture of approximately 159,000 tons of CO² per year, equivalent to the carbon emitted by 28 thousand European Inhabitants in a year.

gre "In 2025, as we celebrate the anniversary of our pioneering I'm green^TM bio-based brand, we reflect on the remarkable journey we've undertaken in advancing sustainable plastics and chemicals. This milestone is not just a testament to our innovation and leadership in biopolymers but also a celebration of our commitment to a sustainable future. The expansion of our bio-ethylene unit in 2023 was a significant step forward in our mission to support the industry and brand owners on the sustainability journey, and it brings us closer to our goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2050. We are proud of what we've achieved and are excited about the future possibilities," says Walmir Soller, Vice President for North America, Europe, and Asia - NAMEA and CEO of Â鶹¾«Æ· BV.
