dc.descriptionIn Egypt, the plastic production industry is substantial, annually producing over 2 million tons of major thermoplastics like PE, PET, PP, PS, and PVC, supplemented by about 6 million tons of imports. This highlights Egypt's significant role in the global plastics market. Production is centralized among eight major manufacturers that rely primarily on fossil resources and are closely linked to other mineral oil industry products, such as caustic soda and hydrochloric acid. The industry's reliance on established, capital-intensive processes presents challenges in adapting to new environmental standards and shifting towards more sustainable production technologies.en
