Sažetak

An increased corporate emphasis on sustainability can be seen in such
areas as: annual reports with published sustainability goals, sustainability
management systems with balanced scorecards and dashboards, websites
using increased screen area and space for sustainability communications,
internal and external stakeholder opinion gathering, development of sustainable
supply chain plans, and marketing strategies focusing on green
or sustainable consumers. To address this ever increasing attention to
sustainability, a research project to understand sustainability in the plastics
industry was initiated with the membership of the Society of Plastics
Engineers (SPE). This paper focuses on the results of the research (global
survey) and the implications of sustainability to the plastics industry.
