SK Geocentric Co. has signed an initial deal with French water management company Suez S.A. and Canadian plastic waste recycling firm Loop Industries to build a 70,000-ton plastic waste recycling plant in France.
According to SK, the three companies are considering making equal investments in the joint venture.
If built, the proposed plant will be SK Geocentric's first plastic waste recycling facility in Europe.
