Sibur will make use of 34 kt of recycled plastics every year to produce the green PET granules at its Polief site in Blagoveshchensk. The move aims to meet the growing demand of eco-friendly PET packaging and is in line with the company’s 2025 Sustainability Strategy.

Russia’s Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin attended the online official ceremony to mark the foundation of Sibur’s Amur Gas Chemical Complex project. Once completed, the project is expected to produce 2.3 mtpa of polyethylene and 400 ktpa of polypropylene.

Sibur is ramping up thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) at its Voronezh site in Russia. The new capacities are expected to cater to the demands of special segments including compounds and glues. This year, the company also aims to include five new SBS grades to its product portfolio.

Amidst the global pandemic of Covid-19, there is an urgent need for high quality single-use personal protective equipment for healthcare workers in Russia.

Under a joint project, Sibur will make use of Brochesia’s ‘B View’ solution for its Network Modernization-Digitalization’ transformation project. The solution enabled the Russian petrochemicals company to enhance its production processes through Augmented Reality and Remote Assistance.

Sibur’s Board of Directors has approved the 2025 Sustainable Development Strategy which focuses on five core areas: Responsible Business, Environment, Society and Partnership, Sustainable Product Portfolio, and Climate Impact Mitigation.
