ICIS received only one response to the Polystyrene Methodology Consultation 2017.
The respondent asked for the reinstatement of two China domestic assessments: DEL East China & DEL South China. The same respondent also requested the return of coverage of China polystyrene plant operating rates.
ICIS Decision
ICIS recently stopped the coverage of DEL East China and DEL South China for commercial reasons.
Regarding coverage of China polystyrene plant operating rates, this is now being reported in the ICIS Chinese-language China daily and weekly styrene monomer reports.
ICIS will not be proposing any immediate changes to the methodology of the polystyrene report. Any decision to change this methodology will be communicated to subscribers using the usual channels and with the usual notice period.
ICIS continues to welcome any feedback on its polystyrene methodology outside of the formal consultation process.
