Polythene plant

Petrochemicals have been produced on the Carrington site since 1949. The main output from this plant was polypropylene and polyethylene .

Formerly operated by Shell the Carrington site is part of the LyondellBasell Industries Group of Companies which was formed at the end of 2007 by the combination of Basell Polyolefins and Lyondell Chemicals. The majority of the chemical plant here has subsequently been demolished with the LyondellBasell presence vastly reduced.
