Xuzhou suspends all coke plants

SHANGHAI, May 7 (SMM) – All coke plants across Xuzhou city, Jiangsu province, are required to suspend their production this week as the local government intensified its effort in environmental protection, SMM learned.

Coke plants in Xuzhou were required to cut 50-70% of output previously.

Steel mills in the city remain under full suspension. Although most have already completed rectifications and will resume production after checks by the environmental inspection team, dates of the checks remain unknown. The checks were previously scheduled on April 28.
