The PPTA is a trade association that advocates for the world’s source plasma collectors and producers of plasma‐based therapeutics [35]. Members of PPTA represent nearly every company in the world that collects source plasma for further manufacture. These members operate about 650 plasma collection facilities worldwide and carried about 38 million donations in the United States in 2018 [37]. The role of PPTA is to develop standards and training programs, represent the industry to the public and governments, and provide forums for discussion of new issues or technology.
