Karl-H.Foerster is to leave PlasticsEurope on 1 September, 2019, for personal reasons by mutual consent. He has occupied the role of executive director for six years.

Under his leadership, several internal reforms strengthening the association were executed, membership was expanded, and he had a key role in setting up the World Plastics Council.

Javier Constante, president of PlasticsEurope, added: “Among Karl’s many contributions, one of the most important milestones he achieved was the development of the Voluntary Commitment ‘Plastics 2030’, which became part of the European Commission’s plastics strategy towards a circular economy.”
