For expansion of production capacities took place the public hearings
On 25th March were carried out the public hearings for the facility of the state ecological expertise — project documentation of “Formalin-3 production plant”, which contains preliminary documents for estimation of the environment impact. Additional capacities of formalin production at Metadynea LLC site in Orekhovo-Zuevo will allow to increase the resins production.
In the project hearings participated around 100 people, including representatives of administration, Metadynea top management, representatives of the project documentation preparation and works on estimation of environment impact company, Engineering and Technological Center Metafrax LLC, as well as representatives of community from Orekhovo-Zuevo urban district.
