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

Well done to everyone who gave their time to help keep our environment clean 🙌🏻 @EndPlasticWaste #clean4change
We came, we saw, we cleaned 👏 Thanks to our 50+ employee volunteers who beautified #Pittsburgh's riverfront today by cleaning up litter, mulching, weeding & removing graffiti. We're proud to help make our city a brighter place! #WorldCleanupDay #LetsDoThisWorld #Clean4Change

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.
