Growth, as the source summarises it

Nova Chemicals may be growing as evidenced by the launch of a Canadian Centre of Excellence for Plastics Circularity, which indicates an expansion in its sustainability and recycling initiatives. Additionally, the company has ended force majeure on HDPE supplies in Canada, suggesting a recovery and stabilization of its supply chain operations. The establishment of the Canadian plastics circularity centre further demonstrates Nova Chemicals' commitment to innovation and leadership in the plastics industry, which could contribute to long-term growth.
