Don't miss PLASTICS' VP of Sustainability, Patrick Krieger,'s presentation tomorrow, November 3, at PackExpo! He'll be on the Industry Speaks Stage (N-4544) from 12:30 - 1:00 pm discussing Plastics Sustainability Through Collaboration. What'll be covered: The packaging industry is evolving rapidly to respond to internal and external pressures to develop solutions that are more circular and sustainable. This session will discuss how the plastic packaging value chain is coming together to promote innovative products and programs that address industry needs. Learn how PLASTICS is leading on developing recycling end markets, creating new educational and advocacy programs to improve flexibles and film recycling, and aiding companies to be the first step in eliminating plastic in the environment by preventing resin loss.

This is why I love working at HASCO America & Canada part of HASCO Hasenclever GmbH + Co KG when disaster is near we all lend a hand… offering storage of needed items for quick turnaround to help those in dire need from hurricane Helene. The mountains around here are getting colder and displaced people are in great need. Load of heaters on way much more to follow to continue support for the areas. #caring #WNCStrong #helene

Each year, the PLASTICS (Plastics Industry Association)’s young professionals' group, Future Leaders in Plastics, organizes a litter cleanup as part of their mission to positively impact communities the industry serves. This year's event took place at Woodland Park in downtown Houston, TX, coinciding with this week's National Plastics Conference. With the help of 47 volunteers, we collected 51 bags of mismanaged waste. Recyclables will be directed towards a recycling pathway by Cyclyx! We’re thrilled to partner with them for this year’s Fall Sweep.

Hosted by the UN Environmental Programme, the negotiations will occur in Busan, South Korea, Nov. 25-Dec. 1. Representing one of the world’s largest petrochemical companies, my team looks forward to sharing with governments how the business of chemistry enables modern living while advancing a sustainable future.
