What Sindiplast -Sindicato das industrias de plastico do estado de São Paulo does

Sindiplast (Sindicato da Indústria de Material Plástico, Transformação e Reciclagem de Material Plástico do Estado de São Paulo) is a mandatory patron trade union (sindicato patronal) representing approximately 4,968 plastic transformation and recycling companies in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Under the Brazilian labor relations framework (CLT), membership is statutorily required for companies in the sector, and the union collects payroll-based mandatory contributions (contribuição sindical). Although Sindiplast has only 6 direct employees, its member companies collectively employ approximately 139,000 workers based on RAIS/Ministry of Labor data. The union is headquartered at Av. Paulista, 2439, São Paulo, and is institutionally affiliated with FIESP (Federação das Indústrias do Estado de São Paulo).

Sindiplast's core activities are collective bargaining representation, labor law compliance guidance, regulatory advocacy, sectoral data dissemination, training programs, and industry events. Collective bargaining is coordinated through the CEAG-10 commission, in partnership with multiple chemical and plastics patron unions, and negotiated with worker federations Fequimfar and Fetquim-CUT. The union publishes regulatory circulars on workplace safety norms (NR-1, NR-10, NR-12, NR-35), the PAT worker food program, eSocial obligations, and labor legislation updates. It organizes the annual Seminário Competitividade (currently in its 16th edition, scheduled for October 2026) and participates in FEIPLASTIC alongside ABIPLAST, with which it co-sponsors the Perfil sectoral data publication.

Sindiplast does not develop or sell technology products. Its commercial model is structurally distinct from a venture-backed or equity-financed company: revenue comes from mandatory statutorily-determined payroll contributions rather than discretionary pricing, and the entity is a non-profit organization (CNPJ 62.506.175/0001-22). The union maintains strategic partnerships with FIESP, ABIPLAST, SENAI (Escola SENAI Jorge Mahfuz), Centro Paula Souza, and the Rede pela Circularidade do Plástico. Its president, José Ricardo Roriz Coelho, also serves as president of ABIPLAST, reinforcing institutional alignment with the national plastic industry association. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
