James P. Drummond obtained his BS in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute in 1994, and he obtained a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Cincinnati in 1999. His focus on polymer materials brought him to Lexmark International where he is currently a Senior Materials Engineer, and Corporate team lead for polymer materials. As a member of the Lexmark Global Sustainability Council he has helped the company focus on plastic material recovery and reuse, resulting in products with some of the highest post-consumer plastic content in the industry.
