Covestro announced a consolidation of polycarbonate production at its Antwerp site alongside the closure of a bisphenol A unit, according to chemXplore's weekly project roundup for October 21, 2026.
The closure was listed as announced on October 15, 2026, and was the only closure recorded in the roundup that week.
ChemXplore's summary headline for the week linked the move to polycarbonate consolidation at the Belgian site.
The roundup also referenced a separate Covestro aniline production expansion project at Antwerp in its basic chemicals section.
Bisphenol A is a key feedstock for polycarbonate, and the closure forms part of wider European petrochemical capacity rationalization.
