    <summary>Covestro plans to cut polycarbonate production at its Antwerp site from four lines to one and to end local bisphenol A production. Up to 260 of the roughly 970 employees could be affected; the company cites high costs, weak demand and Asian overcapacity, and the remaining line is to focus on specialty grades. This is a proposed reorganisation (industrielinqs, 15 Oct 2026). — Source: https://www.industrielinqs.nl/chemie/2026/10/covestro-sluit-drie-van-vier-polycarbonaatlijnen-in-antwerpen-en-staakt-bpa-productie/</summary>

Reasons: the economic environment and the 'absence of noticeable effects from industrial support measures'. No Renault procedure will be initiated; employees are to find new employment within or outside the group. Details will follow in the coming months. — Source: https://brf.be/national/2017857/</summary>
