Westlake is shutting down several old plastics plants in North America, taking a $415 million hit to focus on more efficient factories. Translation: the company is ditching underperformers to save money and stay competitive, but nearly 300 jobs are on the line, especially in small towns. For consumers, this could mean fewer supply hiccups and possibly steadier prices for things like pipes and packaging. It’s a reminder that even big companies have to Marie Kondo their business sometimes! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #BusinessNews
