Plastics|SA launches brand new website

April 3, 2012 - PRLog -- Midrand, 3 April 2012.  Plastics|SA, the umbrella body representing the plastics industry of South Africa, is excited to announce the launch of their new website – http://www.plasticsinfo.co.za
“With the last redesign completed in 2007, the goal of the current overhaul is to provide a more functional, user-friendly navigation experience, accessing the desired information as quickly as possible,” says Anton Hanekom, Executive Director of Plastics|SA.
“Greater public understanding is needed about our industry, its role in the economy; the contribution to society and its response to environmental concerns. Plastics|SA embraces the power of the media, including print, social and online media, as part of our efforts to educate the public about plastics. The new website will be used as the primary platform to communicate with all our stakeholders,” Mr. Hanekom explains.
The new website features:
A members-only section, allowing members of Plastics|SA’s associations access to important industry information and opportunities. The news section provides current industry news; an events calendar outlines important dates and the Pressroom was developed for the media looking for information on the Plastics Industry. It features press releases, publications, position papers and information published in the media.
