ERMA 2025 Extraordinary General Assembly (February 7, 2025)
Decision to Terminate Association Activities
 
Opening of the General Assembly with Executive Committee Message by Mr. David Graham (Chairman):
We gather here today with heavy hearts, as we face a decision that marks a pivotal moment for our association and for all of us who have contributed to its legacy over the years.
First and foremost, we want to acknowledge the remarkable foundation built over the past 40 years across the UK and EU markets. This legacy reflects decades of dedication, hard work, and meaningful partnerships. The impact of ERMA’s efforts has been significant, and we can all take pride in what we have achieved together.
However, as we are all aware, the economic environment has shifted dramatically in recent years. The current market conditions have become increasingly challenging for both our members and the association as a whole. Despite our collective efforts to adapt and persevere, we have reached a point where a very difficult decision must be made.

General Assembly Decision:
The agenda for the Extraordinary General Assembly was approved without modification. Following the presentation of relevant documents and a thorough discussion among participants, the decision to terminate the association's activities was unanimously approved by all active members.
It was noted that, “While ERMA’s active presence in the UK and EU is coming to an end, the influence of its work and the relationships it has cultivated over four decades will continue to resonate within the resin industry and beyond. The association’s contributions to industry standards, policy development, and environmental initiatives will remain a valuable foundation for future generations of manufacturers and advocates within the sector.”
The association extends its sincere gratitude to all our partners, collaborators, and fellow industry associations whose support, cooperation, and shared vision have played an essential role in ERMA’s journey. Your commitment and contributions have been invaluable, and we thank you for being part of our story.
