Why I Care About Recycling

“At its simplest level, and the reason I care, is that it just makes sense to reuse or remake something instead of burying it in the ground. I want to do what I can to reduce pollution and conserve resources. The thing that excites me most about recycling is connecting the stakeholders in the supply chain to truly scale a more circular feedstock for U.S. manufacturing.”

Personal Passions and Interests

Cody is always up for live music and getting recommendations for good tunes. He loves traveling with friends and family. Cody enjoys ­eating good food and making wine ­– in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where he lives with his wife and two their children.
