Dues are based on the annual plastics-related global sales of a member’s parent company. Global sales are calculated on the previous full year’s sales; therefore, for 2024, dues are based on 2022 sales revenue.
We accept checks, ACH, wire, and all major credit cards.
When you renew online, you will be prompted to Pay Now with a credit card. Please note that credit card transactions will incur a 3% credit card processing fee.
If you do not wish to pay by credit card, choose the option “Request an Invoice” and an invoice will be sent within three (3) business days. The system may require that you enter a PO number – if you do not have one, simply enter a five-digit code, such as “00000”. Please see the bottom of the invoice for check, ACH, and wire details.
Our dues are based on the calendar year and cover January 1 through December 31, 2024.
Renewals have been moved to an online platform. A form is no longer required. Please proceed to the online platform by clicking the “Log In and Renew Here” button at the top of this page.

The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) knows that a thriving plastics industry provides security for our families and strengthens the communities where we live and do business. The PLASTICS advocacy team makes sure our elected officials know, too.

The Plastics Industry Association PAC (PLASTICS PAC) is an important advocacy tool that compounds the resources of people employed by the plastics industry and gives them a voice in Washington, D.C.
PLASTICS PAC is a non-partisan political action committee. It is the only political action committee focused on the needs of the entire plastics industry. It supports federal candidates – regardless of party affiliation – who prioritize PLASTICS’ issues and advance our legislative agenda.
