MOSCOW (MRC)–Production of PET in Russia increased
by 7% in the first six months of the year compared to the
same period a year earlier, according to MRC ScanPlast.
The total volume of PET chips production at four Russian
plants reached 268,000 tonnes in January-June.
Companies have continued to follow the
policy of import substitution. The production growth was
achieved by increasing capacity utilisation at Alco-Naphtha
(Kaliningrad).
Alco-Naphtha raised PET chips production by 28% in the first six months of the year compared with the same time a year earlier.
SIBUR Group plants and Senege in general have been working at the previous level of loading during the first six months of the year.
June PET production at the facilities of Russian companies was 46,800 tonnes. The total loading capacity of the sector amounted to around 92% in June.
