Ineos Styrolution won’t restart manufacturing at its Sarnia plant.
The chemical firm has been shut down since April after the close by First Nation reported members getting sick from elevated benzene ranges.
“Since announcing the difficult decision to permanently close our Sarnia site, we have conducted an extensive assessment to determine the operational viability of restarting the site on a temporary basis. Ultimately, the conclusion of the assessment was that temporarily restarting the site is not operationally feasible or economically justifiable,” mentioned INEOS Styrolution’s CEO, Steve Harrington.
Each the province and Ottawa introduced in new rules to scale back emissions.
Harrington added, “We are now focused on conducting a safe, responsible, and compliant closure process and supporting our employees, contractors, customers, and partners, including offering transition support for impacted employees. I want to extend my deepest appreciation to our Sarnia team for their contributions to our business over the years.”
