Ineos says it will close a polyvinyl chloride plant in Runcorn, England; reconfigure a vinyl chloride plant in Runcorn to produce ethylene dichloride; and accelerate its planned closure of a mercury-cell chlorine facility in Wilhelmshaven, Germany.

The company will continue to produce polyvinyl chloride in Newton Aycliffe, England.
