26 Jul 2022 --- Legal NGO ClientEarth is taking Belgian authorities to court over last month’s decision to approve chemical group Ineos’ Project One – a massive ethane cracker in the Port of Antwerp that will boost plastic production in Europe – something proponents say will make the EU market competitive again with China and the US. However, opponents fear the project will greatly increase local pollution and damage the region’s human and environmental health. The site is set to be built next to a protected nature area.
