New working group

The new ETPA (Engineering Thermoplastics) working group has been formed within PlasticsEurope, the European trade association for plastics producers, to support and promote the benefits of this class of polymeric materials and their responsible use in the industry industry. The group will hold a short press briefing on November 1 at PlasticsEurope's booth (Hall 6 C40) during K 2010.
According to the European association, the ETP working group has been formed to provide the technical support necessary to better communicate the various benefits of this material such as: weight and energy reduction, environmental protection, safety, aesthetics, manufacturing efficiency, cost savings, recyclability, and performance improvements in virtually all areas of industry.
