PHEA – The Plastics Heritage European Association. Hipoms – Historic Polymeric Materials.

Abstract

On 08/09 January 2018, PHEA, the Plastics Heritage European Association was founded in the Brussels Design Museum ADAM. Coming from 10 European countries, 18 representatives from different organisations (universities, museums, national societies) decided to establish PHEA, the Plastics Heritage European Association.

PHEA’s intention is to build up a network of European organisations with the focus on activities relating to and the research on plastics heritage and ‘Historic Polymeric Materials’ (‘Hipoms’)
