Statistical Publication
Now available online from SPI is a four-page brochure documenting the plastics industry's significant contributions to the U.S. economy. Part of the association's extensive Plastics Data Source compendium of industry statistics, the brochure provides a wide variety of information from the Top 10 states in employment and shipments to the U.S. industry's participation in world markets. A handy tool for outreach to the community, employees, press, educators, decision-makers and civic organizations, the free publication is available at www.plasticsdatasource.org/impact.htm. Two .pdf formats are provided: a standard letter-size edition and a tabloid size that can be made into a poster for classrooms or plant bulletin boards.
