WHAT WE DO SUSTAINABILITY ABOUT INVESTORS CAREERS NEWS PLASTICS RESEARCH IN ACTION We take great pride in developing North America’s first integrated propane dehydrogenation and polypropylene complex. Being a safe, responsible operator and producer of quality, recyclable plastic is something Inter Pipeline intends to be proud of as well. PLASTICS RESEARCH IN ACTION – SECOND YEAR UPDATE In partnership with the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT), Inter Pipeline hosted a virtual Plastics Research in Action Second Year Update event on November 25. The Plastics Research in Action initiative, a ten-year research program led by industry and research experts at Inter Pipeline and NAIT, focuses on identifying opportunities for society to reuse and recycle plastic waste as well as optimizing facility processes at Inter Pipeline’s Heartland Petrochemical Complex. During this live virtual event, presenters from several of the research initiatives underway shared project updates on some of their work to date and answered questions. Miss the event? Click on the video below to watch the full event replay. Overview We believe plastic belongs in the economy, not the environment. When plastic products complete their usefulness, they don’t belong in landfills and should be considered a valuable resource that should be recycled and reused. When a plastic product re-enters the production cycle and is recycled for future use, this is known as the circular economy. That’s why we are looking at ways to contribute to tangible solutions. PLASTICS RESEARCH IN ACTION Inter Pipeline and The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) are working together on applied research to look at ways to reuse and recycle plastic in Canada. The ten-year agreement, known as Plastics Research in Action (PRIA), is funded by a $10 million commitment from Inter Pipeline, which represents the largest applied research partnership in NAIT’s history.

HEARTLAND PETROCHEMICAL COMPLEX The Heartland Petrochemical Complex is a world-scale integrated complex comprised of a propane dehydrogenation plant (PDH Plant) and polypropylene plant (PP Plant) and a co-generation central utilities block (CUB). It is currently being built in Strathcona County, Alberta, near the Redwater Olefinic Fractionator. The Heartland Petrochemical Complex is designed to convert locally sourced, low-cost propane into 525,000 tonnes per year of polypropylene, an easily transported plastic used in the manufacturing of a wide range of finished products.
