Environmental groups appeal against license for ethane cracker from Ineos

But the environmental groups say Ineos’ Project One does not meet the legal requirements and should not be carried out. “By approving this project, the Flemish authorities have once again swept its massive impact under the carpet,” said ClientEarth.

“Apart from the local impacts on wildlife and health that Project One would cause, we cannot ignore the fact that the foundation of this project will be fossil fuels, which will be used to make the building blocks of plastics.”

Due to the possible cross-border pollution that Project One will cause, the Dutch province of Zeeland had also previously appealed against the approval of the permit for the project.
