Millersville University's Own Paige Guinther Leads Recycling Revolution

Paige Guinther, a sophomore at Millersville University in Souderton, Pennsylvania, is actively involved in her studies and extracurricular activities. She is pursuing degrees in manufacturing engineering technology and automation and robotics engineering technology, with a focus on sustainable recycling practices.

Recently, Paige presented the Society of Manufacturing Engineers Club's recycling initiatives at a campus event attended by the Secretary of Education, Khalid Mumin, and the Chancellor of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, Dr. Danielle Greenstein. She discussed the club's efforts in recycling plastics to promote environmental sustainability and engage students in practical engineering.

The club's recycling process involves collecting plastic bottles in bins placed around the campus, which are then sent to a facility in Osburn for cleaning, sorting, and shredding. The plastics are sometimes dyed and repurposed into products like key chains.

Besides her involvement in the SME Club, Paige is the vice president and a founder of a Forging and Blacksmithing club at the university. She is also a member of the Technology Engineering Education Collegiate Association, the Honors College, and serves as a Resident Assistant, highlighting her leadership and commitment to the university community.
