What does the Danish Plastics Federation do?

The Danish Plastics Federation strives to spread the positive story about the enormous value of plastic products and how plastics contribute to our society in many ways. We also work to constantly improve the framework conditions of our industry in Denmark.

We assist our members in complying with regulations regarding the environment, food contact, and health and safety in the workplace. Together with relevant trade unions, we are co-responsible for the plastics relevant vocational training and education in Denmark. We run a business development activity and various network for our members.

We have a staff of 8 people in our main office in Copenhagen. We are involved in two umbrella networks in Europe: EuPC for converters and PlasticsEurope for suppliers of raw materials. Besides these networks, we are members of seven European networks for different branches of the plastics industry. In Denmark, our most important network is the Confederation of Danish Industry.
