Accordingly, the companies are expected to carry out a feasibility study in order to develop a coal-based polymer production project.
The plant, which will use coal as feedstock, is slated to start production by late 2022. The plant will also produce 450,000 tons/year of PP to meet the country’s growing demand.
The companies did not reveal the details about the amount of the investment at the time of the publication.
