Ua kau inoa ka Foundation for the Renewal of Tigray (EFFORT) i kahi ʻaelike me ka hui ʻenekinia Kina ʻo ECE Engineering e kūkulu i ka hale hana resin PVC (polyvinyl chloride) mua ma ka ʻāpana ʻo Alato o Mekele, ke kapikala o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Tigray, ma ke kumukūʻai o 5 biliona Birr (US$250 miliona ma nā kumukūʻai hoʻololi o kēia manawa).
Ua hāʻawi ʻia ka ʻaelike EPC, i kau inoa ʻia i nehinei ma ka Sheraton Addis Hotel, ma hope o kahi kaʻina hana lōʻihi i hoʻomaka i ka makahiki 2012. Ma hope mai, ua hāʻawi hou ʻia ka papahana i kekahi mau manawa ma mua o ka hāʻawi hope ʻia ʻana o ka ʻaelike iā ECE, nāna i ʻae e hoʻopau i ka papahana i loko o 30 mau mahina mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hana.
Manaʻo ʻia ka hale hana e hana i 60,000 tons o ka resin PVC i kēlā me kēia makahiki me nā pae maikaʻi mai SG1 a SG8. Eia kekahi, e komo pū ka paʻakikī hana kemika i kahi moʻo o nā laina hana ʻē aʻe, me kahi hale hana chlor-alkali, kahi hale hana vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), kahi laina hana PVC, kahi hale hana mālama wai, kahi hale hana hana hou ʻōpala, a pēlā aku.
Ua wānana ʻo Azeb Mesfin, ka Luna Nui o EFFORT, ka wahinekanemake o ke kuhina nui i hala, aia a pau ka papahana, e hoʻonui nui ka waiwai i hana ʻia e ia i ka waiwai holoʻokoʻa o ka hui hāʻawi.
He kemika ʻoihana koʻikoʻi ka resin polyvinyl chloride me ka noi nui ma ka home a ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa. Wahi a nā loea he mea koʻikoʻi kēia kemika i nā mea hana, ʻoiai nā hale hana plastik ma ʻAitiopa. I kēia manawa, nui nā kālā haole e hoʻolilo ʻia ana no ka lawe ʻana mai i ka huahana, ʻoiai mai nā ʻāina hana aila, no ka mea hiki ke hana ʻia mai ka aila maka i hoʻoheheʻe ʻia.
Hoʻohana nui ʻia ka PVC paʻa e like me nā paipu wai i nā kaʻina hana hoʻēmi, ʻoiai hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka PVC wai i ka uhi ʻana i nā uwea a me nā kaʻina hana e pili ana.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Azeb ʻo ka manaʻo o ka hale hana no kāna kāne ia a ua hauʻoli ʻo ia ua hoʻokō ʻia ka papahana. Ua ʻōlelo pū ʻo ia e hoʻokani ʻo SUR lāua ʻo Mesfin Engineering i kahi kuleana koʻikoʻi i ke kaʻina hana kūkulu o ka papahana a me kona hoʻopau pono ʻana.
Ua waiwai ka wahi o ka papahana i nā waihona pōhaku lepo, he mea nui ia no nā hale hana resin PVC.
