Records, 1938-1987.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/86119394

The records of the Society of the Plastics Industry document the society's evolving role from its formation through the mid-1980s. The bulk of the material is post-1960 and reflects the multiplication of divisions and committees to deal with specific types of plastics, products and processes. Pre-1960 material consists primarily of fragments collected for the society's 50th anniversary. The records document the increasing substitution of plastics for more traditional materials, the consumer's changing perception of plastics, and the growth of concerns for safety, recycling, and environmental impact.
