IAPD - The Performance Plastics Association

The only trade association dedicated to the performance plastics distribution supply chain. Membership in IAPD is an affordable business investment.

IAPD provides training, connections with customers and suppliers and information about developments that impact the industry. What makes IAPD unique is a commitment to educating customers and other key end-users about plastics. In other words, IAPD works with members to build the demand for plastics. Central to this effort is the reinforcement of the value of distribution.
