The British Plastics Federation is the principal trade association for the UK plastics industry, founded in 1933 and based in London, England. It represents more than 600 member organizations that together account for a substantial share of industry turnover and covers the full plastics supply chain, with membership restricted to UK-based companies. The federation operates as a non-profit body that brings together competitors, potential customers, and representatives of government, NGOs, and foreign bodies to provide a collective voice and expert support for members. Its role is to strengthen member businesses and profitability through advocacy and industry collaboration. Its breadth across the plastics supply chain sets it apart from European peers. In 2026, it announced the launch of the Plastics Recycling and Sustainability Conference (PRAS), to be held on July 9, 2026 at the Wave Building, University of Sheffield.
