Marco has worked in the plastics space for over 20 years and is currently Chief Commercial & Public Affairs Officer at Avantium. This conversation was recorded during Marco's previous role, as Business Director Biopolymers EMEA Advocacy & Sustainability Director Europe & Asia at Braskem. In this episode, we discuss the origins of Braskem's 'I'm green' bio-based PE plastic, made from sugarcane sourced from Brazil, the sustainability benefits to using Braskem's products - and how they differ from fossil-based plastics - as well as why Braskem joined the Renewable Carbon Initiative to support the company's journey toward a net-zero circular economy by 2050.
