Today Biddle's dream is finally taking shape--a mere 11 years after launch. MBA Polymers Inc. is the world's most advanced recycler of plastics used in durable goods.

Biddle claims he can recycle "anything with a cord" and then some...
...plastic are used in the U.S. annually, yet only 2% to 4% of complex plastics are recycled, compared with 95% for steel and aluminum.

In November, MBA opened the world's largest commercial-scale plastic-recycling facility for durable goods, in Guangzhou, China. The plant can process 40,000 metric tons of plastic annually. Another plant is set to open...

Were the same perception about HBS to take hold among recruiters, HBS’s reputation (and the opportunities of its students) would be diminished.A no-release policy that all students must follow also inhibits students’ ability to use the grades that they earned in order...
Harvard Business School (HBS) may amend its current policy of prohibiting students from disclosing their grades to potential employers, MBA Program Chair Richard S. Ruback announced in a letter to the student body last week.The school is considering a return to optional disclosure, under which students would have the choice of letting recruiters see their grades from HBS. The present non-disclosure practice has been in place since 1998.Any changes that HBS decides to implement would not affect students currently enrolled at the school, but would only apply to future classes, Ruback wrote.Ruback and HBS student leaders both said that...
