Sustane Technologies and Pyrovac have formed a strategic partnership to enhance plastic recycling efforts in Canada and globally. The collaboration will utilize Pyrovac's proprietary reactor technology, initially upgrading Sustane’s facility in Nova Scotia with a $7 million investment. This marks Pyrovac's first commercial deployment of its technology, aimed at converting plastic waste into fuels and chemicals via pyrolysis. The partnership aims to foster a circular economy by reducing plastic waste and generating economic value.

SolarBank Corporation is set to develop a 6.9-megawatt solar project in Brooklyn, Nova Scotia, in collaboration with Trimac Engineering, as part of the province's Community Solar Program. The project, costing approximately $13.9 million, aims to achieve 80% renewable energy by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2035. Scheduled to begin in spring 2026, it will provide power to about 900 homes and offer community members credits on their utility bills. SolarBank's initiative supports grid resilience and local economic growth, though it faces risks such as regulatory and financial challenges.
