CALGARY, ALBERTA<\/h5>

NOVA Chemicals today announced a three-year investment of nearly $2 million (1.5 million EUR) to prevent plastic debris from reaching the ocean.<\/h4>
<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t

The investment supports\u00a0Project STOP<\/a><\/u>, a new global initiative to design and implement solutions to reduce marine plastic pollution especially in countries with high leakage of plastics into our oceans.<\/p>\n

Southeast Asia has been identified as a major source of marine plastic debris as economic development and plastics consumption have outpaced the expansion of waste management systems in the region. Project STOP has chosen Indonesia as a primary focus region.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n

\u201cWe understand the growing concern about marine plastic pollution and agree we must take meaningful action to address this challenge. NOVA Chemicals\u2019 investment demonstrates our commitment to shaping a world that is even better tomorrow than it is today,\u201d said John Thayer, Senior Vice President, Polyethylene Business at NOVA Chemicals. \u201cPlastics are too valuable to be thrown away or left as litter. We\u2019re working with Project STOP to find high-impact solutions to prevent plastic pollution in critical locations around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

NOVA Chemicals\u2019 investment will support the first city partnership in Muncar, a coastal fishing community located in Banyuwangi, Indonesia. With minimal waste services in place, many citizens are forced to dump their waste directly into the environment. Muncar was chosen as the first STOP location due to the seriousness of the challenge, coupled with strong leadership and environmental commitment at national, regency and local levels.<\/p>\n

Project STOP was co-created in 2017 by\u00a0Borealis<\/a><\/u>\u00a0and\u00a0SYSTEMIQ<\/a><\/u>. Borealis, a sister company of NOVA Chemicals, is a leading provider of innovative solutions in the fields of polyolefins, base chemicals and fertilizers, and\u00a0SYSTEMIQ<\/a><\/u>\u00a0is a firm that co-creates, incubates and invests in innovative solutions for sustainable land-use, material and energy systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cProject STOP represents an important step towards creating a plastics circular economy. We are more than pleased that, after our joint venture with Borouge, our sister company NOVA Chemicals joins forces with us in this industry-leading initiative,\u201d explained Alfred Stern, CEO of Borealis. \u201cThe collaboration of Borealis, Borouge and NOVA Chemicals highlights our commitment to proactively help solve the issue of ocean plastic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Project STOP is focused on three objectives:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Zero leakage of waste into the environment<\/strong>\u00a0by ensuring waste collection services are available to all households and businesses, through increasing pick-up points, sorting facilities and staff.<\/li>\n
  2. Increased recycling of plastics<\/strong>\u00a0by strengthening the supply chain from waste collection to waste management companies.<\/li>\n
  3. Benefits for the local community<\/strong>\u00a0by creating new jobs in the waste management system and reducing the impacts of mismanaged waste on public health, tourism and fisheries.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u201cWe are delighted to work with NOVA Chemicals to stop plastic pollution from reaching the world\u2019s oceans,\u201d said Martin Stuchtey, Founder and Managing Partner of SYSTEMIQ.\u00a0\u201cThere is a great need to accelerate circular waste management solutions in Asia, and we are very excited to design and deliver this new city partnership model, working collaboratively with our global corporate partners and our government partners in Indonesia.”<\/p>\n
