market for the Park is estimated at USD
500 million annually, and it will ensure
Abu Dhabi is a hub for developing the
latest innovations in sustainability and
technology in the industry, including
new and advanced and polymer
technologies, such as composites and
3D printing.
The strategic collaboration framework
between Abu Dhabi National Oil
Company (ADNOC) and KIZAD
Polymers Park aims to accelerate
investment and innovation in the region’s
plastics industry. The collaboration
aims to offer companies swift and cost-
effective access to polymers as well
as the option to invest in the Ruwais
Conversion Park – an initiative that will
take shape over the next few years.
Having the state-of-the-art Khalifa Port
on its doorstep also provides KIZAD
Polymers Park access to polymers
distribution, logistics, storage and trading
across the globe, as well as ensuring
raw material supply from other polymers
producers in the region and globally.
Meanwhile, the Ruwais Conversion Park
will provide opportunities for downstream
conversion of materials that may be
economically challenged to transport
over longer distances for further
conversion. The investor will have the
ultimate flexibility to establish a diverse
set of long-term competitive facilities
between these two sites.
