## Engineering Sustainability: How Bixby International Illuminates Eco-Friendly Innovations in LED Lighting

As a plastics engineer, I am often asked about my opinion on the impact of plastics on the environment. Sustainability, “green”, renewable, and bio-based are all great buzzwords around company initiatives, but they often lack legs to survive when there is no commercial incentive to drive them forward into the marketplace. For me, sustainability must make “sense” to the business *and* the consumer. Legislation can incentivize or mandate change, but it is practical innovation that has the power to put the “sustain” in sustainability.
