TPQM
Terminal Quimica Puerto México (TQPM) is a strategic project for Braskem Idesa, aimed at strengthening the company’s operational continuity and supply security. It has the capacity to import up to 80,000 barrels of ethane per day and store approximately 50,000 m³—equivalent to 12 days of inventory.
The project represents a joint investment of USD 446 million by Braskem Idesa and Advario, reinforcing their commitment to the petrochemical industry in Mexico.
Beyond operational benefits, TQPM contributes to the economic development of southeastern Mexico by generating jobs, infrastructure, and regional growth. It strengthens Braskem Idesa’s ability to operate efficiently, sustainably, and reliably.

Alcamare Partnership
In partnership with Alcamare, one of the biggest bottle collectors and recyclers in Mexico, Braskem Idesa has developed a broad portfolio of mechanically recycled post-consumer PE and PP for high demanding applications, that requires very low controlled level of contaminants and high consistency.
With different solutions for the most PCR demanding applications like blow molding, injection, film and pipes; Braskem Idesa and Alcamare's alliance provides local and export markets with post-consumer solutions for food-contact, cosmetics, personal care, home care and industrial market segments.

Plastitrueque
Educational collection model of plastic residues, that promotes the proper identification, sorting, handling and recycling of post-consumer plastics, though strategic alliances across the value chain.
Facilitating the access to a collection infrastructure, Plastitrueque gives the opportunity to exchange plastic residues for basic food basket and/or school items.
Distribution
Braskem has a long list of partners and distributors with the same high quality standards who are in charge of storing, distributing, and meeting the specific demands of each product and region.
In Mexico, six companies work to ensure the same high quality standards, bringing Braskem resins to an ever-increasing number of customers.
