                    [Summary] => The Philippine Plastics Industry Association (PPIA)  is questioning the viability of the  proposed naphtha cracker plant of JG Summit Petrochemicals Corp. 


According to officials of the PPIA, the proposed naphtha cracker plant will never be viable due to a number of reasons.


First and foremost, the PPIA pointed out, for a naphtha cracker plant to be viable, it should have a minimum output production of one million metric tons (MT).


However, the proposed naphtha cracker plant is projected to have an output of only 600,000  MT.
