“Garrett and I go back to 1997 where he was trained in Scientific Molding
procedures. Smart and talented, he has used this methodology and strategy to
widen his knowledge base and grow in capabilities. His inititiave is shown in
starting up plastic411 and his work at KI *Green*. Currently we are working
together to incorporate plastics in green technologies.”
