Young, passionate, on the ground: The new podcast series featuring voices from the next generation of the plastics industry kicks off with Johanna Stritar from Covestro. In an interview with the SKZ podcast “: Plastics – Under the Microscope”, the Master’s student in chemical engineering explains how she found her way into the industry – – navigating between the laboratory, large-scale plants and the lecture theatre.
She speaks openly about the realities of university life, practical relevance and team spirit – and about why curiosity and attitude are more crucial for young talent than perfect CVs. There’s no shortage of personal anecdotes either: from underestimated benefits to attitudes towards plastics.
The programme is aimed at young professionals and anyone who wants to know what drives the new generation – and how the industry is evolving as an employer.
