Honoring the Past… Ensuring the Future

The Plastics Pioneers Association is Celebrating 75 years of Giving Back in 2023

Building on our past to advance the future success of the plastics industry, the Plastics Pioneers Association is an organization of individuals who are persons of accomplishment in the industry. We support scholarships, educational programs, a history center, and more to engage the next generation of people in the world of plastics.

In 2023 we are celebrating our 75th anniversary, and we hope you will join us for the fun Diamond Anniversary events we have planned at our Spring and Fall meetings.  PPA will also be publishing historical feature stories in several trade magazines, so be on the lookout for those.  We look forward to continuing to serve the Plastics industry for many years to come!

What We Do – We Give Back

• We give educational grants and scholarships that help students pursuing careers in the various fields of plastics and materials science.
• Through monetary donations, we help to maintain the Plastics Collection Library at Syracuse University.
• We contribute to educational support programs such as the SPE Foundation’s PlastiVan® and PlastiVideo® which cater to primary and secondary school age students.
