So apt this fantastic event falls on the #UnitedNations #InternationalDayOfTheGirl #STEM learning is more important than ever as the percentage of females among #STEM graduates is below 15% in over 2/3 of countries (SDG report 2021). @covestro @green4girls

Recycling technologies are key to achieving a #CircularEconomy, but the discourse on the methodologies is often quite unbalanced. Therefore, it's important to keep an open mind about various approaches which contribute to the solution with their different advantages.
