Shaping the future for sustainable plastics – together

Plastics Europe is the pan-European association of plastics manufacturers with offices across Europe. With members producing over 90% of all polymers across Europe, our mission is to help accelerate a solutions-driven approach working towards the circularity and climate goals of a sustainable plastics industry.

Together with our value chain, the plastics converters and plastics machinery manufacturers, the European plastics industry employs around 1.6 million people, who work in more than 60,000 companies, many of which are SMEs. Together, we create a turnover of €360 billion.

On a global level, Plastics Europe is an active partner in the World Plastics Council (WPC) and the Global Plastics Alliance (GPA), contributing to multi-stakeholder dialogue on UNEA5 and the global threat of negotiation on plastics.
