Role and Structure

PIFA is a non-profit-making organisation limited by guarantee.

Much of its success may be attributed to the commitment and enthusiasm of members and the harnessing of

such support to ensure that it provides, at all times, a powerful representative force for the plastics film industry.

The Association is renowned throughout the UK and Europe, for its uncompromising approach to honesty and balanced reporting of topical issues.

Measured against the key criteria for a 'model' trade association as outlined by the UK Department of Trade and Industry, PIFA can demonstrate that it meets all the requirements of a strong, representative and effective organisation.
