Bakelite Product Stewardship and Sustainability Specialist, Justyne Willman, had the opportunity to showcase some fun and impressive science to a group of grade school students at a STEM event.

As part of our Taylorsville site’s community engagement project, Bakelite helped support Taylorsville’s inaugural farmers market, which promotes sustainability.
