This is the Chinese version of our updated analysis of global environmentally harmful subsidies (EHS). (The English language version of this report, and associated commentary can be accessed here.)
This interim report represents the first comprehensive attempt to identify and quantify subsidies received by the primary plastics polymer (PPP) production industry. The report specifically examines the stages of production from the processing of raw plastic materials—such as steam cracking of naphtha, isolation of alkenes from raw natural gas, and coal gasification—through to the production of basic resins and the compounding and extrusion of plastic pellets.
