The purpose of the Society is to improve the economic efficiency of agricultural systems through the use of plastics in various aspects of plant and animal production, manufacturing, packaging, and distribution; and through environmentally sound recovery and reuse.

This is accomplished by promoting plastics science and technology, by providing a forum for the exchange of plasticulture ideas and information, and by encouraging innovation.

“Agricultural Plastics: Feeding the World” was a webinar produced by the American Society for Plasticulture with the financial support of the American Plastics Council and the technical support of Penn State University’s Center for Plasticulture. In easy to understand terms the one-hour program told how advances in the use of ag plastics are making it possible to extend seasons, grow where food crops previously could not flourish, produce higher quality and greater quantities of food, and have a positive impact on the environment. Nearly 1,000 newspapers and other publications received invitations to the webinar and the entire session was recorded.
