The purpose of Western Plastics Pioneers (“WPP”) is to preserve the history of the plastic Industry in the Western United States, promote industry initiatives, recognize historic contributors, and provide scholarships to deserving students preparing to enter the plastics industry.

We endeavor to recognize the efforts of individuals as industry pioneers and the significant contributions of those responsible for establishing, creating, and developing our industry. As measured by our membership criteria, you are an ideal candidate for membership. Your experience, knowledge and years of service would be invaluable to our membership and the industry.

The Board of Directors of the Western Plastics Pioneers invites you to join us as a member in good standing.

A WPP member can be actively employed or retired. You may qualify for membership having worked with thermosets or thermoplastics in sales, marketing, management, technical, additives, materials, equipment, manufacturing or any combination thereof. Having served the plastics industry for approximately 15 years truly identifies you as an industry pioneer.
