The New Horizon in Front of Iranian Plastics Industry: NGO’s (Non-Governmental Organizations) and unions are still young institutions in Iran. Our community’s experience in this regard is low and diverse NGO’s are still running on the basis of “trial and error”. Like many countries in the world, corruption can be seen in some of these organizations. However, many of it are trying to serve their members trustworthy. In this article, we have been discussing a new organization that has been separated from the Tehran’s Union of Plastics Products due to changes in its main body of laws.
In Iran’s constitution, Iran’s economy is divided into three sectors: public, private, and cooperative. There are, however, five types of organizations in Iran: Cooperatives, Industrial Homogeneous Associations, Unions, Societies and Industrial Clusters. Unions also existed in pre-revolutionary structures, and “homogeneous unions” were the achievements of the government of Mr. Seyyed Mohammad Khatami (7th & 8th Governments of IRI) in order to get the people to work for each other. In the meantime, unions are more susceptible to the scandals and bribery due to the greater legitimacy and solidarity among the various gurus, which is not the main theme of this article.
As far as the Iranian plastics industry is concerned, the province of Tehran, along with several industrialized provinces, has 23 civil society organizations, most of them with many problems: members have many expectations and delegations The director must inevitably have to spend a lot of time in order to deal with the problems of their members. These conditions are totally different from the conditions prevailing at similar organizations outside of Iran, and so many of these organizations are always subject to collapse.
Despite all these problems, we recently announced the existence of a union in the Pardis city (interspersed between Tehran and the city of Buman), which has a new combination, and still remains intact with the work of the board of directors. The Union, the main body of which consists of the Tehran’s Union, is called the “Union of Chemical Industry and Polymer (UCIP)”
On the last day, the founder of the monthly PIM magazine went to the city of Pardis to invite a number of members of the board of directors of the union to discuss them. His welcoming was interesting, and the news that he brought with him from the union was very interesting as well.
According to the Saatnia’s reports, the union has 507 members, most of them plastics converters. In the next news, more information about this union will be presented to viewers of this website.
The engineer, Saatnia, believes that considering what is considered by the organizations in Tehran and the capacity that has been observed in this union, it may be considered as a new horizon to the Iranian plastics industry.
We will right more news and articles about this Union in near future.
