Nearly 10 percent of Houston Independent School District (ISD) students missed 18 or more days of school during the 2014 through 2015 school year, according to the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation – a problem compounded by the direct correlation between chronic absenteeism and low academic performance.

A global, connected middle class – expected to roughly double by 2030 – is rapidly changing the breadth and scale of consumer demand, as well as signaling the need to rethink how we meet it. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the plastics industry.
