Nexus Circular, a commercial leader in advanced recycling solutions for hard‑to‑recycle plastics, announces the appointment of Mark Nikolich to its Board of Directors.  The former chief executive officer of Braskem America, Nikolich brings more than 35 years of deep domain experience across strategy, operations, and business and market development.

During his tenure at Braskem America, Nikolich championed strategic corporate sustainability initiatives including the launch of new bio-based, advanced and mechanical recycled-content polymer product lines.  He will leverage his commercial know-how for sustaining value-creating circular solutions and his comprehensive understanding of the polymers industry value chain to enable Nexus’ next stage of growth. 

“Mark has a rare combination of commercial discipline and sustainability vision,” said Jodie Morgan, chief executive officer of Nexus Circular. “His insights into global polymers markets and customer requirements come at the perfect moment as we scale projects and invite like‑minded partners to invest with us in technology that accelerates circular feedstock supply.” 

As part of his role on the Board, Nikolich will support the expansion of Nexus’ manufacturing footprint and partner ecosystem by engaging resin producers, petrochemical operators, and advanced recycling partners to deploy Nexus technology through offtake‑backed collaborations, licensing agreements and joint ventures. 

“Having Mark on our team provides a truly unique opportunity for our commercial organization,” said Clint Thompson, chief commercial officer at Nexus Circular. “His intimate understanding of the intersection of strategy and execution in this emerging industry will be invaluable. Our future licensee partners will benefit from his breadth of experience across petrochemical cycles, new technology integration, and industry scaling.”
