From food to fuel to plastic, soy is making the Earth more sustainable in thousands of surprising ways. In the years ahead, it might even do the same on Mars.
In the early days of my career, when I would tell people I worked for an electronics distributor, their eyes would light up with fascination. The era of personal electronics was just dawning and the public was mesmerized. Once I clarified that I worked primarily with industrial manufacturers, their eyes would instantly glaze over.

A key tenet of the “circular economy” sustainability paradigm is the reduction in reliance on virgin materials.
