At the TEPPFA 2021 General Assembly TEPPFA members elected Mónica de la Cruz as Vice President of TEPPFA for a two-year term. Mónica de la Cruz is Managing Director of the Spanish TEPPFA member AseTUB, the sector group of plastic pipes and fitting manufacturers as part of ANAIP, the Spanish Association of Plastic Converters.

She is Chairlady of CEN/TC 155, the Technical Committee coordinating the activities related to standards for plastic piping systems and ducting systems within CEN, the European Committee for Standardisation.
Driven by her expertise in standardisation and circular economy she represents ANAIP in the Working Group Building and Construction in the Circular Plastic Alliance, Europe’s high level multi-stakeholder platform of industry, academia and public authorities, which aims to substantially increase the uptake of recycled content in new plastic products.

She brings more than 20 years of technical industry experience to the Executive Committee and will strengthen the importance of bringing national and especially Southern European plastic pipe challenges and opportunities in building and infrastructure applications on the TEPPFA Executive Committee agenda. The election of Mónica comes at a key moment. Plastic pipe systems are generally recognized as a durable, sustainable and high performing solution for critical infrastructure and essential services to society. TEPPFA is currently developing a new strategy plan which sets challenging sustainability and quality targets for all members throughout Europe.”
