Abstract
The seed that became Plastics News was planted in fall 1988, when the board of Crain Communications Inc. approved the launch of North America’s first weekly plastics newspaper. The objective was to create a high-frequency, independent, news-driven publication to serve the thousands of North American plastics-processing companies whose actions seldom merited scrutiny anywhere but in their local community newspapers. PN’s mission is to provide independent, multisourced, timely coverage and analysis of plastics companies, markets, trade associations, people, events, and legislation.
