    Description
    Objectives

    The project finances research and development related to performance chemicals, advanced intermediates and performance polymers.

    The aim is to increase the promoter's competitiveness and expand the company's business through the development of technology-driven processes and products.

    Environmental aspects
    Procurement

    The project concerns investments in research and development (R&D). R&D activities are not specifically mentioned in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU, and the project is expected to be carried out in existing facilities without changing their already authorised scope. The project would therefore not require an environmental impact assessment (EIA).

    The promoter is a private company operating in the manufacturing sector and not having a status of a contracting authority. Procurement is expected to be in line with EIB guidelines for private sector projects.
