Canadian chemicals and plastic resins producer Nova Chemicals (Calgary, Alberta; www.novachemicals.com) recently announced the establishment of Nova Circular Solutions, a new line of business focusing on lower emissions, recycled solutions, and home to the Syndigo brand, the company’s portfolio of recycled polyethylene. The business unit is to be headed by Alan Schrob, the current director of mechanical recycling.
