It was a year of many accomplishments that are helping us create a world-class, sustainable organization. The AEPW has thus far committed over $1.0 billion to help end plastic waste in the environment. The AEPW intends to develop and bring to scale solutions expected to minimize and manage plastic waste and promote solutions for used plastics by helping enable a circular economy.

In a year with little to no macroeconomic momentum to help drive growth, it would have been easy to sacrifice our long-term prospects for short-term rewards. One of the personal highlights of my year is engaging with these associates and helping them to become better leaders. These high, wide and deep relationships with our customers put us in position to help in their earliest stages of design and innovation.
