Polyethylene
NOVA Chemicals' mission is to be the leader in innovation that enables our customers to deliver plastic products that make everyday life, healthier, easier, and safer.
Bringing our Mission to Life
In the polyethylene business, we help to fulfill our mission everyday through our work with customers and across the value chain. Rapidly evolving trends and market demands, along with emerging technologies that allow us improve applications or even re-imagine how we use polyethylene, are shaping the packaging and products of the future. We help our customers stay a step ahead with our deep market and technical expertise, proprietary technology, and a customer-centric, collaborative approach.
Our Focus
Sustainability
Plastics have no place in the natural environment. We’re working internally and with our customers on polyethylene solutions that enable a circular plastics economy, and to help each other reach our sustainability goals.
E-commerce
Online shopping is growing exponentially every year. Tougher packages and different form factors are needed to stand up to the rigors of the e-commerce supply chain, along with newer requirements for recyclability and the elimination of excess packaging. We’re working with our customers, particularly in flexible film markets, to meet these growing needs.
Customer Experience
The drive to help our customers succeed in their businesses propels our research, powers our discoveries and advancements, and inspires our people. And it’s because of this drive, this dedication, that our customers trust us to develop innovative products, applications, and services that give them an edge in the market.
