ADDITIVE SUPPLIERS GROUP

With over 25 member companies, the BPF Additive Suppliers Group is the only national plastic additives
grouping in Europe, if not the world. Encompassing suppliers of fillers, flame retardants, colourants, stabilisers
and special effects additives, the Group has been working to promote their role in plastics processing and
products since 1976. The Group is quick to point out the important role that additives play in the innovation of
plastic products brought about, in large measure, by the huge advances made in additives technology.

Members of this group are involved in almost every element of BPF activity as their interests in plastics are so
substantial, crossing every application and issue.

The Group is actively involved in:

promoting the Federation as an alliance of companies from all aspects of the plastics supply chain

Keeping abreast of the numerous legislative developments affecting plastics in all applications

Promoting plastics in general

Additive Suppliers Group Members have been instrumental in compiling this guide and are listed on the
