Plastic: Essential to a Resilient American Infrastructure 

Plastic is an irreplaceable part of our nation’s economy, contributing to nearly every vital segment of our manufacturing sector… and our lives. It’s essential to creating medical supplies, comfortable housing, personal safety equipment, a safer food supply, clean energy, and our family cars.

Making and distributing plastic where and when it’s needed is vital to our ability to go places, deliver food, run a business, make a cell phone call, and fight disease. And it helps us drive down greenhouse gas emissions.

Plastic makes our modern life possible.
