NAPCOR adds to staff

The National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR) has recently hired Laura Stewart as its communications director. Stewart has more than 20 years of experience in the thermoform packaging market. Most recently, Stewart worked as vice president of sales and marketing at Placon Corp., Fitchburg, Wisconsin,  where she was instrumental in promoting the use of recycled PET in the company's packaging lines.

During her tenure with Placon, Stewart served as NAPCOR’s first Thermoform Council chairperson after the organization expanded its membership to include PET sheet and thermoform members in 2008, working to increase membership, and to further the recycling of PET thermoforms and use of recycled PET content.

“Bringing on someone of Laura’s caliber rounds out our talented staff,” says Rick Moore, NAPCOR’s executive director. “We have a strong agenda for 2017 and look forward to having Laura with us as we kick off the year.”

NAPCOR is the trade association for the PET plastic packaging industry. The association promotes the introduction and use of PET packaging; facilitate its recycling; and communicate the attributes of the PET container as an environmentally sustainable package.
