Plastics Hall Of Fame Opens Nominations

The Plastics Academy is now accepting nominations for induction into the Plastics Hall of Fame for living individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the plastics industry. The induction ceremony will occur on Monday, June 19, 2006, during the NPE 2006, North America’s largest plastics trade show. Nominations will close December 31, 2005.

All nominations will be screened by a committee of Plastics Academy officers and board members who will recommend up to 12 individuals for final consideration by living members of the Plastics Hall of Fame. These members will select up to nine individuals for induction.

The Plastics Hall of Fame was established in 1972 to honor those who have shown “consistent dedication and extraordinary accomplishments . . . that have contributed to the stature and growth of the plastics industry.” It is the highest honor awarded in the plastics industry. The Plastics Hall of Fame members are commemorated in an exhibit at the National Plastics Center & Museum, located in Leominster, MA.
