American Plastics Council

The American Plastics Council was an industry trade organization representing companies involved in manufacturing and using plastics in the United States. Its role was to promote the benefits of plastics, support research and development, and advocate for favorable policies. The council aimed to educate the public and policymakers about plastics' applications, durability, and versatility, while also addressing concerns related to recycling and environmental impact. It operated to support the growth and responsible use of plastics within the industry during its active years, which ended when it transitioned into other organizations focused on environmental stewardship.
