Certification and New Beginnings
Renewable Polymers Inc. receives official certification, unlocking major contracts and industry acceptance. David Chen moves from skepticism to cautious support, Maria and Dr. Sato celebrate the team's achievement, and Ai reflects on the sustainable future they've set in motion.
