Prior to serving as PLASTICS’ VP of government affairs, Seaholm served as the executive director of the American Recyclable Plastic Bag Alliance at PLASTICS. Before that, Seaholm was VP of Public Affairs at at the Washington D.C. office of marketing and public relations consultancy Edelman.

Over the last five years, PLASTICS says he has testified before more than 30 legislative bodies and been interviewed by more than 100 media outlets.
Anderson has worked in the plastics industry for nearly 40 years. Prior to joining PLASTICS, he worked at Milacron LLC, now a division of Hillenbrand, for more than 30 years. During that time, Anderson held numerous roles including VP and general manager for both its injection and extrusion businesses.
