Since 1937, PLASTICS has been providing education to our members and advocating on their behalf. As the plastics industry has grown

and evolved, our organization has also grown and adapted. We are a forward-thinking association that believes in plastics’

ability to improve people’s lives. The many events that we host throughout the year are attended by some of the

industry’s leading experts and biggest advocates. Our events are meant to inspire conversations, tackle

important issues, find solutions and connect you with the right people.

When you leave a PLASTICS event, you’ll have gained insight, inspiration and connections. We

encourage you to share them with your co-workers, colleagues and friends. Share topics you thought were

particularly valuable or give a talk about something you learned at your next staff meeting. Connect with us on social

media to share your pictures and thoughts on every event. Pay it forward by sharing PLASTICS’ events with someone you think will

benefit from the content, and you may just see them at the next event. Visit plasticsindustry.org/events to stay up-to-date with our upcoming

events.

Why Choose PLASTICS?


"Our partnership with PLASTICS and their members allows us to engage in a dialogue and to see challenges as they do. We share core values in the importance

of safe products, strong relationships, and providing

regulatory truth. This translates in our passion to be the best in what we do, to support our

partners, achieve success, and for all to have access to

compliant and safe products. Our products and services therefore

help PLASTICS members in meeting the complexities and

risks of a global market."
