Membership is open to all suppliers, plastic processors,
converters, and brand owners in the rigid plastic packaging supply chain. SPI's RPPg focuses on consumer
product and food service packaging, and is a resin-neutral trade association group.
The RPPg will meet twice a year in person-once in the
spring, with a golf tournament and an educational field
trip, and once in the fall-with educational webinars
and advocacy discussions in between the in-person
meetings. Subcommittees on communicating the value
of rigid plastic packaging and addressing end-of-life
issues/opportunities provide additional engagement
opportunities for interested members.
SPI RPPg members who attended the spring meeting
helped lay the framework for the group; nevertheless
there remains an opportunity to help shape this group
by participating in the subcommittees and webinars.
Projects for 2014 include writing two case studies on sunsetting projects (SPI/nAPCOR's Thermoforming Project,
and the SPI/ACC Virginia Peninsula Rigid Recycling Project); however, additional, new project ideas are still being
discussed.
Plenty of good work and active discussions took place
at the spring meeting, both in and out of the conference
rooms. The meeting included a well-attended golf tournament, and a tour of The Walt Disney World™ Waste
Management facilities, with time set aside to converse
with Walt Disney staff on how the theme parks handles
recycling, waste management, and litter. The RPPg mixes business with fun, interactive networking
opportunities. Organizers are working to unite the rigid
plastic packaging industry, and, with the exciting partnership of the SPI and ACC in forming the RPPg, they
hope you will consider participating.
Attending companies included: Polytainers, Berry Plastics, CBW Automation, Printpack, Airlite Plastics, Klockner
Pentaplast, natureWorks, Dow Chemical, Fabri-Kal, Fame
Technology Solutions, Plastic Ingenuity, Plastic Package,
Placon, lyondellBasell, Verstaete, IPl, StackTeck, Marbach
Tool & Equipment, Eastman Chemical, and the Brueckner
