people, a lot of value for Inter Pipeline and our
contracted partners, and it is great to be a part of a
business that is forward-thinking in its approach to
sustainability.”
The Heartland Complex was designed with
sustainability as a key aspect of procurement and

“It’s also exciting to be partnering with great
organizations like Women Building Futures (WBF) to

circular economy, where plastic waste is utilized as
a resource instead of a disposable.”
