Created in 2001 at the initiative of 15 major European independent thermoplastic compounds and masterbatch producers, ETHIC is a Sector Group of EuPC and is active, in particular, in the EuPC Automotive & Transport Division.

ETHIC has been created in order to influence the EU decision-making process of legislation that has an impact on its activity.

ETHIC members meet twice a year to discuss common issues affecting the compounding and masterbatch Industry as well as to define position statements and developing strategies to influence the European regulations.

ETHIC's overall objective is to defend and promote the interests of the European thermoplastic independent compounders and masterbatches through a number of activities.

ETHIC Plenary Sessions take place twice a year to discuss and to advance on its objectives.

The EXCOM (Executive Committee) meets also twice a year. In the meantime our members receive continious information and communication on the progress of ETHIC activities.
