Ineos Styrolution announced it will permanently close its Sarnia, Ontario plant by June 2026 due to new provincial and federal regulations aimed at curbing benzene emissions. The decision follows a temporary shutdown in May and heightened concerns from Aamjiwnaang First Nation residents about high benzene levels.
The plant closure will affect 80 direct and 500 indirect jobs. Ineos cited economic impracticality in continuing operations under the new stringent limits. Ontario recently set benzene emission caps, and the federal government issued a related order, prompting the closure. While Aamjiwnaang residents had mixed reactions, many see this as a step toward cleaner air.
