About The BPF
The British Plastics Federation (BPF) is the leading trade association of the UK Plastics Industry (representing approximately 80% of turnover) and is a springboard for industry action, existing to exploit common opportunities and resolve shared problems.
BPF Membership (through direct membership and affiliated organisations) encompasses over 1400 companies from the plastics industry supply chain, including polymer producers, suppliers and processors in addition to additive and machinery suppliers and manufacturers.
The BPF is an authoritative, well-respected and objective source of unique information, views and commentary whose name has, as a consequence, become synonymous with plastics in the UK. Through membership plastics businesses have the only credible opportunity to discuss key issues and interact with UK and EU government to raise industry concerns and play a constructive role in the development of legislation and standards.
The BPF promotes the interests of its Members principally through its four Market Sector Groups and its many common interest Business Groups. The BPF Central Expert Committees address industry wide concerns including Environment, Fire, Product Safety and Industrial Health & Safety.
