Had a great meeting today with interns from Covestro, a world wide company with a home base in Pittsburgh. The interns- 31 college students are working in teams to access a huge problem with plastics and come up with solutions. They pitched their projects today and will continue to work on them for the month of July. Fits in perfectly with the Plastic FREE Eco challenge. Great job and a big shout out to Kim and Liz and Olivia from Covestro!
