collect additional material to bolster our circularity
capabilities. And as we expand environmental solutions, we drive
additional opportunities to provide these services to our existing
recycling and waste customers.Recycling and WasteWe continue to

bottle-to-bottle circularity. We also formed Blue Polymers, a joint
