Nexkemia looks to learn from Eco-Captation’s recycling expertise as it works to reduce the carbon footprint of its insulation and packaging products by developing a circular model for EPS. The products resulting from the acquisition will be used by NexKemia applications where sustainability and circularity elements are essential, including high-performance cold chain packaging solutions and construction material.
“Scaling up Eco-Captation's technologies will allow Nexkemia to rapidly grow our capacity for sustainable expandable polystyrene solutions that incorporate a significant percentage of post-consumer recycled material,” said Pierre Beaudry, general manager of NexKemia.
