The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) has promoted Patrick Krieger, its senior director for materials and sustainability, to the newly created role of VP for sustainability.

Krieger began his career with PLASTICS in 2015, serving as assistant director of regulatory and technical affairs. His accomplishments include the creation of Bioplastics Week, a significant role guiding PLASTICS’ New End Market Opportunities (NEMO) projects, contributions to the growth of Operation Clean Sweep and organizing PLASTICS’ Re|Focus Recycling and Sustainability Summit.

“As an industry, we intend to be all-in on sustainability, helping to lead the way toward a truly circular economy. Patrick will play an essential role on that journey,” said Tony Radoszewski, president and CEO of PLASTICS. “Patrick’s stellar performance as senior director for materials and sustainability, which included important work with our recycling and other material supplier committees, made him the obvious choice to lead our sustainability efforts.”
