The Future of Plastics in the West

Mission

Our goal is to create a unifying force for the industry in the Western States and the following Canadian Provinces: British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. We educate policy makers and the public about the positive economic impact of the industry and the environmental benefits of our products through programs, newsletters, outreach and the media. WPA works with national groups on legislative and industry issues that our members are concerned about.

History

With the evolution in 2011 from a small local organization in the West (CFECA) with a rich history of success to a strong regional force today, the Western Plastics Association, has expanded our focus and coverage over the past decade. In 2023, WPA combined with the years as CFECA, will be celebrating 50 years as an association. Through communication with plastics manufacturers, we have heard the concerns and suggestions from all sectors of the industry. In response, our goals as an alliance focus on membership, communication, education, legislation, environmental impact, and networking.

Leadership

The Western Plastics Association (WPA) is an alliance of plastic producers, convertors, suppliers and downstream customers dedicated to representing the broader interests of the plastics industry. Our Board of Directors represent the wide spectrum of the plastics industry. They bring with them their experience, leadership and fresh perspective to the needs and concerns of our members.
