EsPlásticos, a plastics platform that serves as a point of union for the different agents in the sector together with global packaging industry company, PACCOR, developed the museum to pay tribute to the various creations in plastics and highlights their unknown uses and unexpected utilities.

‘Given the constant and prejudiced attacks that the plastic industry has been facing lately, EsPlásticos is now launching an original campaign that showcases the amazing properties of plastics, including its recyclability, and PACCOR is proud to be a part of it,’ says Andreas Schütte, CEO of PACCOR.

The museum will only be open for 10 days and will be closing on World Recycling Day. The Plastic Museum will be completely recycled to be used for other purposes, demonstrating the versatility of the material.

‘EsPlásticos aims to show public opinion that another vision of plastic is possible, making recycling the focus of the conversation in all media,’ concludes Caterina Camerani, VP Group Sustainability at PACCOR. ‘We need to generate debates around plastic materials and for them to be considered part of the solution and not just part of the problem.’
