Braskem and bioplastics specialist FKuR to expand distribution agreement for Green PE

03-Jul-13

Bioplastics specialist FKuR is an official distribution partner for Braskem´s Green PE in USA and Canada., with immediate effect. This latest development follows the distribution contract which was signed between the two partners for the exclusive distribution of Green PE in Europe, previously announced in November 2011.With its extensive experience in bioplastics, FKuR will now be able to provide both technical and sales support directly to customers interested in Green PE within USA and Canada. As a further development, with the brand name Terralene®, FKuR increases the range of applications for Green PE by offering tailor made compounds based on Braskem’s biobased polyethylene. Terralene® and Green PE have the same properties and processability as conventional polyethylene and, thus, have the ability to be a drop in replacement as they can be processed on existing production lines. In addition, Terralene® and Green PE are 100 % recyclable in existing polyethylene recycling streams.
