(plastemart) -- Thai Plastic and
Chemicals expects to restart plans for expansion of its polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plant at Map Ta Phut, allowing
it to run production lines in November. The plant would have full capacity of
50,000 tons. The PVC plant, suspension on which has been lifted, was among 76
projects suspended a year ago because of environmental and health concerns at
the estate.
A separate vinyl chloride monomer expansion was deemed to fall into the
category of environmentally harmful activities by the court and had its licence
withdrawn. The company has coordinated with government authorities to achieve
full compliance with laws and regulations at the VCM plant, hoping to get a
licence by mid-2011.
