The major challenges facing the polymers industry are the proper use of materials, environmental pressures, the management of diversity and growth, the availability of human resources and the management of competition. Awareness of the broad nature of these barriers and of their complex interactions will help the European polymer industry to play an increasing role in promoting the future of polymeric materials.
