And the suppliers you see, umm, I'm very curious about what, how their suppliers work with you because of course now it's we're pulling, right. So we're pulling to have more options to have more bio based recycle content and to have the same availability as we have right now for plastic. Just as a summary, Mary, how do you see that the supplier are evolving? You see other definitely they are keeping up the piece and they're giving you more options. As we speak for sustainable products. Yes, they are giving, I tell you from suppliers that are there historically in the industry that they had a small range today they have available in the past, I when when people were asking me from technical from business can we offer these supply chain was a problem today is not I we are ready to supply as I said with the target of the of the year 30. I'm not saying we are able to supply like all the. The production globally with, with uh, recycling. But the fact that we, we are saying yes from supply chain is because we have, we have the trust and we have seen that finally the, the vendors are committing to have some part of their production. They are investing. They, they, I see the new investments happening in of course in Tarragona chemical area is, is our key in Europe because we are like the small Houston in Europe, but also in the. A huge ton Texas area is a lot of investment, a lot of mechanical investment. Because really is is something that we have seen in our industry forever to use the the the scrap to make. Betty for for many years. So we and then when, when we assess our customers, we say, yes, we are sure we can get you this because we see this investment with a timeline and it's something real. If not I, I, I'm, I will say, let's go to the old school and use the force like I cannot commit to something that is not but is happening and our customers are sometimes with the assessment and. Making the investments and the plans is something that they say now, OK, so from here, they they trust the industry is happening and for this they plan with five years of of time to go step by step. But now supply chain is not any anymore. They're saying no, it's definitely I can see that that that we are ready and thank you Mary Cell, because you have. You did all this relationship with the suppliers, I mean around the world and and now it's like a partnership. That's how I see it. It's a partnership. Everyone was following how the world was evolving and with the new legislations where all accommodating ourselves right to to move into that direction. So we can see the benefits and the customers are working with us. So I can see that definitely everyone is connecting. And, and we're working hand to hand between the customers, um, as, as a developers of solutions and the manufacturers also responsible, right? So we are responsible for, for that. So, yeah, thank you, Mary. So I'm very happy that you were able to share with us all of your insights. So until the next time, thank you so much for being with us. My pleasure. Thank you. Thank you.
