Abstract
By virtue of the abundance of oil and especially natural gas, Canada is a major producer of polymer resins. World scale plants located in the Western Canadian province of Alberta, the province of Ontario and to a lesser degree in the province of Quebec, compete in the domestic arid world markets for sales of the commodity thermoplastics LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP, PS and PVC. Table 1 illustrates 1995 production levels.
