PlasticsEurope Germany has a new Head of Communications: Dr Matthias Müller took over as Head of Information and Communication at the association on 1 July 2019. Müller brings with him a range of experience from the chemicals and plastics industry: After training as an editor at Evonik Industries, he worked there in site communications at the Worms production site and was most recently responsible for external and internal communications at plastics processor Renolit.
Müller would like to further advance the association's media work and digital communication. In addition to the various online presences, such as the website launched together with the IK Industrievereinigung Kunststoffverpackungen e.V. „Newsroom plastic packaging“ social media will also play a more important role and networking with various stakeholders will be further intensified.

Frankfurt am Main is the headquarters of the Central Europe region. It is one of the five regions of PlasticsEurope and includes Germany, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Hungary.„The current public debate surrounding the topic of plastics represents a major challenge and offers excellent starting points for emphasising the diverse and sustainable applications of our material and thus contributing to an objective discussion. I am looking forward to this exciting task,“ says Müller.
PlasticsEurope is one of the leading European trade associations. The association has centres in Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Milan and Paris and cooperates closely with other European and national plastics associations. Our more than 100 member companies produce more than 90 per cent of the plastics in the 28 EU member states and Norway, Switzerland and Turkey.
The European plastics industry makes a significant contribution to prosperity in Europe by turning innovations into reality, improving the quality of life and enabling resource efficiency and climate protection. More than 1.5 million people work in around 60,000 companies in the plastics industry (mostly small to medium-sized companies in processing) and generate a turnover of over 350 billion euros per year.
