of 348 million tonnes which indicates an increase of 3.8% compared to the previous year. Forecasts by 2021 indicate growth at a similar level. The versatility and usability of plastics as materials is undoubtedly the booster of this uninterrupted, global-scale growth. Kazimierz Borkowski, Managing Director


of


the


PlasticsEurope Poland Foundation spoke at the 2018 PLASTOP. In his opinion “Plastics have become commonplace in almost every area of life. Plastics make it possible to innovate. This development is often impossible to achieve without plastics. Not always are we able to appreciate the benefi ts. This unusual material is often seen from the rubbish perspective which poses the environmental problem. Polish and European plastics industry faces challenges which could have a negative impact on the plastics industry competitiveness. These are related to the Plastics Strategy announced


by the European Commission at the beginning of the year and the implementation of the Circular Economy. Restrictions related to specifi c products, as it was the case of plastic bags may also be imposed. It is equally important to stop marine environment pollution caused by abandoned plastic waste. The industry has implemented promotion programs for plastic waste management proven solutions and correct consumer behaviour promotion.
