German chemicals group BASF said Sept. 6 it has started production at a giant complex in southern China’s Zhanjiang.
The first plant at the site will produce 60,000 tonnes of engineering plastic compounds a year for the automotive and electronics industries, the company said in a statement. It will be supplied entirely by renewable electricity.
The company expects to invest up to 10 billion euros (US$9.95 billion) in the site, which will be its third-largest globally when complete in 2030.
