As said by Ford technical fellow, Sustainability, Dr. Deborah Mielewsk, “A key to achieving our sustainability goals and solving the broader problems of society is working with other like-minded companies – we can’t do it along with HP, we defined the waste problem, solved technical challenges and found a solution in less than one year, which is something in which we all take pride.”
