Formed in April 2001 and endorsed by Ohio’s Governor, the Ohio Polymer Strategy Council is a united and dynamic group of senior industry, academic, and government leaders working collectively as a driving force to strengthen Ohio’s polymer industry and it’s image and to accelerate the transformation of the industry to global leadership in technology-driven opportunities. The mission of the OPSC is to address the challenges to the industry’s global competitiveness.

To ensure that Ohio’s polymer industry remains healthy, OPSC works to:

• Define initiatives of strategic importance and assist in setting programming and funding priorities
• Advise the governor and his staff, the Ohio General Assembly, and relevant state departments and agencies
• Stimulate investment in Ohio-based research by federal and state governments
• Serve as a strategic adviser to PolymerOhio, Inc.; and other industry/academic initiatives
• Provide leadership and direction to accelerate technology transfer in Ohio
• Identify and present to the state the industry's major legislative issues, and offer options for resolution
