One of the initiatives that aim to strengthen the plastics transformation industry with actions that contribute to the industry’s growth and competitiveness is the PICPlast – Plano de Incentivo à Cadeia do Plástico (Plastic Chain Incentive Plan), created in 2013 by Braskem and ABIPLAST – Associação Brasileira da Indústria do Plástico (Brazilian Plastic Industry Association).
PICPlast operates on two main pillars: Competitiveness and Innovation, which relies on investments in professional qualification and business management; and the Advantages of Plastic, which works through the Movimento Plástico Transforma.
The Movimento Plástico Transforma, created in 2016, seeks to promote educational content and actions for society to reinforce concepts such as conscious consumption, creative reuse, and correct disposal and recycling of plastics, demonstrating that plastics, combined with technology, creativity, and responsibility, brings countless possibilities for a wide variety of segments.
