Allocation of supplies of polyethylene will be arranged within
the next few days. There are five categories of this material but quotas will be issued initially for only three of these. In the main category, the allocation will amount to 45 per cent of demand, and in the two others to 25 per cent of demand.
The Commerce and Industry Department will continue to seek from importers additional quantities in the final two categories before deciding
on allocations.
In all, over 5,000,000 lbs of polystyrene and polyethylene will be allocated and all quota allocations will be issued within the next 10 days.
