Geel

INEOS Polyolefins’ Geel Belgium facility sits on an industrial site established originally in 1967 by Amoco Chemicals. The 115 hectare site – of which 38 hectares
is INEOS property - is shared with BP's Aromatics and Acetyls
Group.
The site is located 45
km east of Antwerp and manufactures polypropylene (PP) resins for use in applications ranging from food packaging, pipe applications and injection
moulding applications.
As at other INEOS facilities, health, safety and environmental performance are integral
components of the Geel operations. The site has developed a record as one of the
safest polyolefins sites within INEOS as well as in Europe, and it continually strives to improve its
safety performance. Key elements of the policy are high employee
competency standards, strict process safety management systems, and regular audits
by all levels of the organisation.

The Geel plant meets the world’s strictest requirements for water, air, and noise
emissions.
By deploying proprietary state-of-the-art technologies and maintaining
very high levels of operational reliability, the Geel site minimizes
emissions while regularly performing in the top decile of European plants with regards to energy
efficiency.
The Geel facility works actively with local communities via regular communication
sessions with its neighbors and other nearby industries.
Outreach to promote and foster understanding with the local citizens includes the Buren (Neighbor) Platform
and Overleg (Consult) Commission, where representatives
of the local community, local political parties, employees and plant management
meet several times a year to build good relations. Additionally, Ineos Geel employees serve as members in
local community activities, ranging from youth sports leagues to nature clubs.
