The sustainable use of plastics is a core consideration for the judging of all the awards. Specific categories designed to recognise sustainability and recycling include Recycler of the Year, Recycling Machinery Innovation, Material Innovation, Sustainable Product Design and Sustainable Extrusion Technology.
The awards will be presented at a black tie gala ceremony at London’s InterContinental Park Lane on Friday 21 November. They are supported by the British Plastics Federation, toolmakers’ trade association GTMA, the Polymer Machinery Manufacturers & Distributors Association, the Scottish Plastics & Rubber Association, plus the publications Sustainable Plastics and Urethanes Technology International magazines and websites.
“As the Plastics Industry Awards enter their 24th year, we continue to celebrate innovation, excellence, and sustainability within our industry,” said Matt Barber, global events director at Crain Communications. “This year’s awards reflect dynamic advancements and diverse contributions from across the UK and Eire’s polymer sector. Our thanks go to our Platinum sponsors Engel UK and Distrupol and Gold sponsors Hasco, Meusburger, Interplas and PlastikCity for their generous support for the plastics industry’s highly coveted, respected and looked-forward-to awards.”
