* Strong Growth in European Beverage Can Market Triggers £40 Million
Rexam Investment in New Manufacturing Lines July 2002
Based on very good sales growth Rexam, the global consumer packaging company,
announces that it is investing in two new beverage can making lines, one at
its plant in Naro Fominsk, Russia, the other at its plant in La Selva, Spain.
The £18 million investment in the Naro Fominsk plant follows the explosive
growth in the Russian beverage can market in the last two years. This is a result
of the concerted efforts of the Russian based can makers, aluminium suppliers
and brewers to promote the can as a packaging for quality products and the general
increase in beer consumption. Established Western breweries have invested significantly
in Russia in recent years and the installation of new filling lines and the
modernisation of many breweries point to continued growth. The can market in
Russia has doubled to 2 billion cans in the last year alone and is expected
to grow at a very fast pace in the years to come.
The Naro Fominsk plant, situated some 75 km south west of Moscow, is one of
the world's most modern plants. It has two lines and a current capacity of 1.8
billion cans. The new line will add a further 1 billion can capacity and will
be ready in the second quarter 2003 to meet the seasonal upswing in demand.
The Spanish soft drinks and beer markets have shown exceptional growth over
the last 5-7 years. The beverage can market has experienced an annual growth
rate of some 10% during that period. Market demand is currently being met by
imports from other beverage can plants in Europe but this is not a cost effective
solution in the long term. During the installation of the new line the plant
will be converted from aluminium to steel cans. Steel cans are more cost effective
to produce and the investment will therefore strengthen Rexam's competitive
position. The new line at La Selva, some 70km south of Barcelona, is a total
investment of £22 million including the conversion to steel, and will
be completed by the first quarter 2003 in time for the spring and summer increase
in demand.
Commenting on the investments, Rolf Börjesson, Rexam's Chief Executive
said: "We made a strategic decision to enter the beverage can market with
the acquisition of PLM in February 1999. The purchase of American National Can
in mid 2000 consolidated our position as the world's number one beverage can
maker. The market growth of the beverage can market in Europe has had a very
positive effect on Rexam's overall results in the past two years and the £40
million investment in these two lines will help ensure that we are in a position
to take full advantage of the growth potential in these vibrant markets and
to continue the level of service our customers have come to expect."

* Phthalate plasticisers under attack again July 2002
A new attack on phthalate plasticisers has come from an organisation called
Health Care Without Harm, which has published a report in which it calls for
a phase out of the production and use of phthalates.
A major strand of its argument is the accumulation of phthalates which it says
overcomes the safety limits set by regulators. It says that supposedly safe
limits set by regulators 'are a nonsense because they are calculated on each
phthalate separately. In fact, cumulatively, most people are subjected to phthalate
doses well over the accepted safe levels.'
The report criticises the use of DEHP in PVC medical equipment used in the care
of premature babies - 'the tubes, IV bags and blood bags keeping them alive
are also delivering a phthalate dose at the worst possible moment in their development'.
The organisation says that while the phthalate exposure from the medical equipment
itself may not be harmful when seen in isolation, 'regulators are being unrealistic
by ignoring the fact that patients going to hospitals are already carrying phthalates
in their bodies'. It says that women of reproductive age are exposed to some
of the highest levels of phthalates, putting their unborn children at increased
risk of damage to their developing reproductive systems.
HCWH's claims are rebutted by the European Council for Plasticisers and Intermediates.
It says that exceeding the exposure levels set by legislators is not the same
as encountering a risk, because the safety levels are set at a factor of from
100 to 1,000 times less than those deduced as safe from animal testing - and
that anyway, phthalates are broken down by the body and excreted within 24 hours
and so do not pose a bioaccumulation concern.

* Modern dispersing agents for polypropylene
Dispersing agents are becoming indispensable for the effective
colouring of polypropylene. Reinhold Kling and Dr. Reiner Hess of Clariant GmbH
describe the development of modern dispersing agents - micronized waxes and
metallocene waxes.
Polypropylene is the most recently developed mass-produced
plastic and one that within just a few years has experienced significant product
development and now has many applications. Polypropylene was first produced
in 1954 by Giulio Natta in cooperation with the Montecatini company. This firm
was also the first to manufacture polypropylene on an industrial scale. A wide
range of polypropylene types is now available and the areas of application are
varied. These include medical articles, household goods, toys, automobile parts,
sports goods, foodstuff packaging, agricultural applications, signposting and
furniture, as well as components for the chemical industry. The overall consumption
of polypropylene is rising steadily. Consumption in 1968 was one million tonnes,
but had increased to 30 million tonnes by 2000. A distinct trend can be observed
towards particularly high-quality polypropylene products, such as fibres or
high quality films. More
