It was formed in 1994 through the amalgamation of the Plastics Industry Association (PIA), the Australian Chemical Industry Council (ACIC) and the Chemical Importers and Exporters Council of Australia (CIECA). The Adhesives and Sealants Manufacturers Association of Australia (ASMAA) became part of PACIA in 1996. Policy advocacy, regulatory reform and sustainability leadership were the key areas of focus for PACIA. Core activities included commercial affairs, public affairs, government relations, and health, safety and environment matters. Its members included chemicals manufacturers, importers and distributors, logistics and supply chain partners, raw material suppliers, plastics fabricators and compounders, plastics and chemicals recyclers and service providers to the sector. It continued to organise "Know Your Plastics" seminars, and update the associated text book Know your plastics: Plastic materials for our future (reprinted 2009). The seminars were designed to be suitable for anyone working in plastics manufacture, engineering, sales and purchasing, and for newcomers to the industry. PACIA transitioned to become "Chemistry Australia" in February 2017, following a unanimous resolution at its AGM in October 2016. Plastics Industry Association Inc.
