Any company registered in Malaysia that makes plastics products can join as an Ordinary member. Suppliers of machinery, materials or services to plastics manufacturers can join as Associate members, and industry associations as Affiliate members.

From 1 January 2027 the annual fee for Ordinary members depends on the number of employees, from RM500 (20 employees and below) to RM1,400 (151 and above). Associate members pay RM1,650 a year. See membership types and fees and Circular 134/2026.

Send the membership enquiry form. The membership team contacts you with the application form. Your application is proposed and seconded by two members, and approved by the Central Committee.

Only Ordinary members can vote and stand for office. Associate and Affiliate members have no voting rights but enjoy the same benefits.

Changes need the approval of the Central Committee and a General Meeting, and take effect once the Registrar of Societies approves them.
