Plastics NZ: Strengthening New Zealand's Plastics Industry

We work with manufacturers, material suppliers, recyclers, brands, retailers, and others across the broader plastics value chain.

Representing a Capable and Sustainable Plastics Industry

Our Key Roles

Plastics NZ works with our members to build collective capability, support credible industry practice and strengthen the industry’s voice and reputation

For our members, that means practical support, a strong collective voice on the issues that matter, training and capability development, connection with peers, and industry intelligence.

Who Makes What?

Our industry makes things that support everyday life and critical services across New Zealand — from healthcare and food production to construction, infrastructure and advanced manufacturing.

Plastics NZ helps people find NZ plastics manufacturers, suppliers, reprocessors and other industry specialists.

Events & Training

Plastics NZ runs events, training and webinars help people across the industry to build capability, share knowledge and keep up with what’s changing. We also connect members with formal training organisations.
