Waste plastic packaging of petrochemical origin, became in the course of human history an environmental problem because of the number of years that lead to decomposition. Thus, there is growing research on innovation biological polymers that meet the needs of individuals and at the same time reduce environmental impacts. Worldwide, Braskem is a pioneer in the production of biopolymer originating from bagasse of sugarcane, which is used in different packaging formats for different purposes. The research objective is to raise the activities of the sugarcane industry in favor of the production of biopolymer. The methodology comes from the documentary analysis of disclosures made by the company on their website from 2011, relating to: supply of raw materials, benefits of bioplastics production, markets that are marketed products worldwide and the influence of this product the financial results of the production company. The results depict identified Braskem instructs the suppliers on the production of the raw material to be used for the production of the polymer. Lists seven benefits linked to this production, which may influence the decision to acquire this type of polymer. In addition, Braskem announces where and which companies acquire their polymer, identified the internal and external marketing to Brazil and the influence of polymer market in its net income expressed in percentage increase.
