The U.S. Plastics Pact (USPP) announced the appointment of Crystal Bayliss as Executive Director, following her service as Interim Executive Director.

Bayliss has been a longstanding leader within USPP and has played an important role in guiding the organization through a rapidly changing sustainability landscape.

“Crystal’s unwavering commitment to USPP’s mission, combined with her collaborative approach and practical perspective, make her the right leader for USPP today,” said Susan Fife-Ferris, Vice Chair of the USPP Board of Directors. “She has earned the trust and respect of USPP’s staff, Activators, and Board through her steady leadership and dedication to helping organizations navigate complexity and move their work forward. We are excited for her to lead USPP into its next chapter.”

Bayliss brings experience in sustainability, supply chain, and procurement, giving her a practical understanding of the challenges organizations face as they work to meet customer demand for more sustainable materials, prepare for emerging extended producer responsibility (EPR) requirements, and implement changes that align with their business objectives.

“I am honored to serve as Executive Director of USPP,” said Bayliss. “There is no single blueprint for progress. Organizations are approaching this work from different starting points and with different priorities. The USPP can play an important role by creating opportunities for Activators to learn from one another, share practical experience, and identify approaches that work within their own organizations. I look forward to strengthening this voluntary community and helping our Activators navigate what comes next.”
