Recycling Council opts for full BPF membership
Friday, 23 July 2010
The British Plastics Federation (BPF) has announced that the BPF Recycling Council (BPFRC) is to be fully integrated into the Federation as from January 1st 2011 and in its new identity as the BPF Recycling Group, it will be a fully fledged business group within the Federation’s structure.
Members of the Recycling Council voted unanimously for this change at their Annual General Meeting held in Grantham on July 7th. This move was heartily endorsed by the BPF Council meeting in London the following day.
Recycling Council Chairman, Mark Burstall said, “The Recycling Council feels confident that the BPF’s and the Recycling Council policies are well aligned and there are major opportunities for the Council to broaden its offering to potential members.
“The Recycling Council has been very successful at increasing its membership in the last years, he said. By fully entering the BPF, the offering to recyclers will be very impressive indeed and we anticipate a future boost to membership. This move will enable greater interaction between recyclers and converters using recyclate.
BPF President Paul Jukes, added, “Strategically this is an excellent move for the BPF since recycling is a hugely important activity for our industry and underpins our sustainability credentials. It represents significant growth of the BPF’s membership base and will enable the BPF to speak with full confidence on recycling issues and to represent fully all aspects of the polymer supply chain.
