NOVA Chemicals encourages the adoption of Responsible Care® principles through our Responsible Care Outreach Program. This program engages customers, suppliers, carriers and other stakeholders and helps them understand our commitment to Responsible Care and our expectations for doing business with NOVA Chemicals.

We also encourage environmentally and economically sustainable plastics recovery and recycling programs. NOVA Chemicals participates in the Alliance of Foam Packaging Recyclers, and we are also a primary funding member of the Environment and Plastics Industry Council, which sponsors plastics recycling research and integrated waste reduction strategies for Canadian municipalities. In addition to these efforts:

• NOVA Chemicals is a partner in Operation Cleansweep, an initiative that seeks to prevent the release of resin pellets into the environment. Operation Cleansweep combines fundamental product stewardship and environmental principles.

• We support lifecycle assessments of our polymer products as a member of the American Chemistry Council's Plastics Division.

• We have developed a series of product-based websites that provide technical data, product application data and safe handling information in response to our customers requests for factual, accessible data on NOVA Chemicals' products. To learn more, please visit the Products and Services section of our website.
