SPRA - The Scottish Plastics and Rubber Association

Welcome to SPRA - The Scottish Plastics and Rubber Association

The SPRA is an independent society whose primary aim is to promote the advancement of rubber, plastics and other related materials. SPRA achieves this by training and education in engineering, science and design associated with the conversion, manufacture and end-use of polymeric materials. The SPRA is affiliated to the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) and also affiliated to the British Plastics Federation (BPF).

Activities

As an association we arrange 7 meetings each year, these meetings feature invited speakers who talk on themes of Design, Materials, Business and Processing. The venues we choose are varied, making attending more convenient for companies in different geographical areas. Some events encourage non-member attendance and can be sponsored by external organisations.

The SPRA also organises seminars for larger audiences. Members are kept up to date with newsletters, regular mailings and the SPRA website. Each year we also stage a very popular Dinner and Dance which usually takes place in March, giving our members a chance to meet and let their hair down.
