Think Plastic Brazil (Brazilian Converted Plastics Export and Internationalization Program), created by the INP (Brazilian Plastic Institute) in partnership with Apex-Brasil (Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency), defined the countries that will be the focus of the activities of the sectorial project in the 2022-2023 biennium, for the five verticals supported by the program: Agribusiness, Toys, Construction, Packaging, and Housewares.
