Plastics Academy to induct nine of the industry’s best into the Plastics Hall of Fame at NPE2015
The Plastics Academy announced Monday that it would honor nine individuals for their contributions to the plastics industry by inducting them into the Plastics Hall of Fame at a ceremony to be hosted in Orlando, Fla. at NPE2015. The inductees that comprise the Plastics Hall of Fame’s Class of 2015 come from different walks of life and diverse backgrounds, but all of them have had a lasting impact on the economic health and vibrancy of the entire $374-billion plastics industry, as well as on generations of plastics industry workers.
Induction into the Hall of Fame is the highest honor bestowed in the plastics industry. The Plastics Academy, under the auspices of SPI: The Plastics Industry Trade Association (plasticsindustry.org ), is tasked with collecting and screening nominations for new members. Established in 1972, the Hall of Fame resides at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, and stands as a tribute to the men and women who through dedication and perseverance have significantly contributed to the development and growth of the plastics industry over the past century.
