• Polymeric-based products in compliance with technical requirements, national and international standards
• Recycling solutions and appreciation of residues in polymer matrices

About ISI Polímeros
The Institute was formed from the Polymeric Technology Center (CETEPO), founded in 1992. It is currently part of the network of innovation and technology institutes within the scope of the SENAI Program to Support the Competitiveness of the Brazilian Industry, coordinated by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI).

Since its accreditation as an EMBRAPII Unit in 2014, the Institute has already implemented more than 30 RD&I projects within this program, with a high level of satisfaction and the repurchase of the partner industries.
