Washington — The deadline is approaching for nominations to the Plastics Hall of Fame.
The Plastics Academy is looking for living candidates for the honor, who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at NPE2018 in Orlando, Fla.
The academy inducts living members to the hall during NPE years.
The deadline for submissions is Sept. 22. The nomination form, plus more information, is available at the Plastics Hall of Fame's new website, www.plasticshof.org.
Hall of Fame membership is considered the ultimate recognition of the lifetime body of work of an individual, which can best be described as consistent dedication and extraordinary accomplishments, which have contributed to the growth and strength of the industry, and without which, the industry would not have reached its present level of preeminence.
Nominees' qualifications should include one or more of the following criteria:
• Significant invention or breakthrough.
• Development of an outstanding product, market or business endeavor.
• Long and valuable service to the industry.
• Record of constructive collaboration with government, regulatory, academic, trade or other industry groups.
Winners will be notified by the academy president on Jan. 12, and will be inducted on May 6 at NPE2018.
