Environmental Awareness: Contrary to many popular beliefs, packaging in plastics is very often the most environmentally friendly solution to distributing products to consumers. Plastics provide the best combination of lightest weight, product protection and resistance to breakage, along with low cost compared to other packaging options. Plastic re-use and recycling continue the green effort. Jonathan Boisvert Position: Field Service Age: 31 School: Fitchburg High School, New England Institute of Technology Years at Company: 3
