Industry Measurement and Reporting

Measurement and reporting are critical elements of a sustainable and successful plastics and chemicals industry.

Regular data collection and analysis are essential to monitor the industry's progress across all areas of sustainability, and enable continual improvement. Further, industry reporting demonstrates the value that is gained as a result of PACIA's member programs and partnerships with government departments, agencies and stakeholders.

This work also ensures that the industry remains open, accountable and communicating progress - one of the eleven priority goals specified in the industry's Sustainability Leadership Framework.  

PACIA produces a number of reports each year that measure and assess the industry's successes and sustainability performance, as detailed below.
