Executive Summary
The plastics industry is becoming increasingly
important to Georgia’s economy. Currently, there
are over 470 plastic production facilities in the
state.
Growth in Georgia’s plastics industry has outpaced
that of the U.S. overall. Since 1991, plastics
shipments in Georgia have increased by 112
percent. Employment has grown by 88 percent.
By comparison, plastics shipments in the U.S. grew
by 86 percent since 1991 while employment grew
by 42 percent.
Defining the plastics industry is a challenge
due to the way plastic products and
components have entrenched themselves into
the fabric of our everyday lives. Market
categories ranging from packaging to building
and construction to transportation to
consumer and institutional products are
inundated with plastic components and
additives.

grew at a faster rate than that of the U.S. overall. Between
1994 and 1999, Georgia’s plastics industry capital investment
grew by 59 percent. U.S. capital investment grew by 57
percent.
Plastics shipments in Georgia reached $10.7 billion in 2000,
making the state the 11th largest in value of shipments in the
nation. Georgia ranks 3rd nationally in shipments growth.
Over 39,000 Georgians work in the plastics industry. From
1996 to 2000, Georgia was the 4th fastest growing state in the
nation in terms of plastics industry employment. In 2000, the
state ranked 14th nationally for plastics industry employment.
Georgia’s average weekly wage for the plastics industry is 8.3
percent below the national average.
Membership in Georgia’s three active unions that have
plastics manufacturing workers continues to shrink,
decreasing by 34 percent over the past ten years. Overall,
Georgia’s union membership levels are the 11th lowest in the
country.
The plastics industry in Georgia is supported by a number of
organizations and programs. The Georgia Department of
Technical and Adult Education offers a variety of training
opportunities for workers. Georgia’s award-winning Quick
Start program offers customized training at no cost to new or
expanding companies. World-class research and development
programs at the Georgia Institute of Technology focus on
bringing cutting-edge technology to real world applications.

Introduction
Some view the rise of polymer technologies as
one of the most important innovations of the
twentieth century. Certainly our everyday lives
have been transformed by the use of plastics in
everything from orange juice containers to
components in airplanes.
Increasing product shipments and employment
trends exceeding those of overall manufacturing
attest to the growing demand for plastic products.
Plastics are polymers – mostly
thermoplastics, which can be heated and
reformed over and over again. Polymers’
resistance to chemicals, thermal and electrical
insulating properties, light weight, and
processing flexibility give them unique appeal
and the capability to be manufactured to meet
very specific needs.
Georgia’s 1999 rubber and plastics industry Gross
State Product (GSP) contribution of $1.5 billion
represented 3.3 percent of total manufacturing
GSP – up from 2.5 percent in 1980. Nationwide, rubber and plastics contributed $55 billion
to Gross Domestic Product in 1999 compared to
a $17 billion contribution in 1980.
While U.S. employment in manufacturing
declined by 0.5 percent annually between 1980
and 2000, employment in plastics increased by 2.1
percent. In Georgia, rubber and plastics
employment increased by 4.3 percent annually, far
outpacing the state’s 1.1 percent manufacturing
employment increase.
The number of plastics-producing facilities is also
on the rise. Since 1991, the number of plastic
producers in Georgia grew from 368 to 474, a 29
percent increase. Many of the top plastics
processors in the country, such as Pactiv
Corporation, Sweetheart Cup, and Owens-Illinois
have facilities in Georgia.
The data in this report reflect numbers from both
the primary and captive plastics industries. The
primary plastics industry includes Standard
Industrial Classifications (SICs) 2671, Plastic
Packaging, 2673, Plastic Bags, 2821, Plastics
2
Materials and Resins, and 308-, Miscellaneous
Plastics Products. Plastics industry NAICS
codes (North American Classification
System), adopted in the most recent
Economic Census data from the Census
Bureau, include all the 3261 segments (Plastics
Product Manufacturing) as well as 325991
(Custom Resins).
The captive plastics industry includes those
activities related to the primary industry but
performed in plants classified in other
industries. The most obvious example would
be the production of plastic milk bottles
taking place in a milk processing plant.
whole, SIC 308- accounts for 88 percent of
jobs in U.S. primary plastics manufacturing.
Since 1991, Georgia’s employment in these
classifications has increased 88 percent while
shipments have increased 112 percent.
Between 1994 and 1999, capital investment
grew by 59 percent. With such substantial
growth, Georgia’s plastics industry will remain
competitive at the national level and offer a
wealth of opportunity for investment in the
future.
More specific primary industry information
will be given for nine separate four-digit
classifications in SIC 308 – (NAICS 3261 and
325991) shown in the following table. As a

Plastics Shipments
Georgia is the 11th largest plastics producer
nationally in terms of primary and captive
plastics industry shipments. With shipments
totaling $10.7 billion, Georgia is one of only
two southeastern states in the top eleven. The
state alone generated over 3 percent of the
nation’s total industry shipments. Combined,
the top eleven states for plastics
manufacturing make up 63 percent of the
nation’s $330 billion plastics industry
shipments.

Plastics Employment
The rapid expansion trend for plastics
industry shipments is paralleled by the equally
exceptional growth in plastics employment.
Over 1.5 million U.S. workers were employed
in primary or captive plastics manufacturing in
2000.
Georgia’s employment numbers are even
more impressive. Currently 39,400 Georgians
work in the primary and captive plastics
industry.
Over 18,400 of these plastics employees have
been added to Georgia’s workforce since
1991. This 88 percent increase substantially
exceeded national plastics industry growth of
42 percent.
Nearly 440,000 of these jobs have been added
since 1991, representing a 42 percent increase
over the past nine years.

Unionization
According to the Bureau of National Affairs,
overall union membership in Georgia is
shrinking. From 1987 to 2001, total union
membership for all private manufacturing
dropped from 15.1 percent to 8.3 percent.
Total union membership for all three unions
is only 1,421. Membership has been steadily
declining, decreasing by 834 or 34 percent
over the past ten years.
Georgia’s union membership level (8.3
percent) is the 11th lowest in the country and
well below the U.S. average of 14.6 percent
for private manufacturing.
There are currently three active unions in
Georgia that may have plastics manufacturing
workers as part of their membership. The
largest union, Glass/Pottery/Plastics,
currently has 1,002 members.

Plastics Growth
Throughout the nation, plastics industry
shipments and employment numbers
have historically increased more rapidly
than that of other manufacturing
groups. Georgia is no exception.
Employment
Employment in Georgia’s rubber and plastics
industry experienced a surge during the 90s. From
1991 to 2000, the number of workers in rubber and
plastics increased by 68 percent or 5.8 percent
annually. As mentioned earlier, employment in
alone grew by 88 percent

After a brief decline in 2001,
Georgia’s rubber and plastics
employment forecast calls for
resumed growth starting in
2003. Georgia’s manufacturing
employment will grow by 0.41
percent annually between 2001
and 2015 while rubber and
plastics will grow by 0.17
percent yearly over the same
period. Given the robust
expansion of the 90s, these
growth rates seem somewhat
tame.

Historically, plastics
production has managed to
outpace that of
manufacturing overall. In
the future, plastics will
continue to grow, but at a
slower rate. Georgia, as
one of the country’s
leading plastics producers,
will continue to contribute
to this anticipated growth,
both in terms of
production and in terms of
demand.

While the nation’s plastics industry is hot,
Georgia’s is even hotter. As mentioned
earlier, plastics shipments in Georgia were up
from $5 billion in 1991 to $10.6 billion in
2000, making Georgia the third fastest
growing state.
More specifically, from 1997 – 1999 the
Georgia growth rates for shipments in eight
of nine subcategories in SIC 308- exceeded
those for the U.S. overall.
Georgia Shipments Growth Exceeds U.S. in Eight
of Nine Segments (1997 – 1999)
Georgia is the third
fastest growing
plastics producing
state in terms of
shipments. In 2000,
Georgia’s value of
shipments reached
$10.6 billion.

Recent Workforce Training Success Stories
Piolax Corporation: “We were badly in need of mold
makers and other skilled workers … We went to
Appalachian Technical College and presented our
problem. Since then, with the help of the wonderful people
at Appalachian Tech, we’ve been able to grow, knowing
that a pool of trained workers is being created. We have,
traditionally, a low turnover rate thanks to this training” -Gary Gray, Manager, Human Resources.
Wilden Plastics: Through Griffin Tech, the company
established an apprenticeship program in mold making.
Currently, five companies arrange apprenticeships through
Griffin Tech. The success of the program has prompted
Griffin Tech to expand its curriculum to include a full
plastics technology program. Wilden expects to expand its
Georgia location in the near future.
NACOM Corporation: “The training available through
Quick Start has been an important part of our growth and
expansions. Its customized training has allowed us to
focus on implementing new technologies with a highly
trained workforce” -- Brian Burk, Manager of Training.
