Plastic Omnium is to sell its whole Environment Division to focus exclusively on automotive operations.
No initial reason has been given for the sale but it will raise around EUR330m (US$393m) following the division's divestment which is the global market leader in waste management solutions and employs 1,800 people in 12 countries.
