The FPA promotes the responsible manufacture, sourcing, distribution, usage and disposal of food and foodservice packaging. It represents the industry with all four UK governments and engages with key government departments and committees. Foodservice packaging is under unprecedented pressure from government legislation (such as plastics tax, EPR, DRS and consistent collections) and from the impact on the industry of the coronavirus pandemic.
If packaging plays a role in your business at any point in the supply chain, as a manufacturer, distributor or foodservice/hospitality operator (front & back of house) you should join the FPA.

Buying from an FPA member is a responsible purchasing decision.
Members are drawn from across the supply chain, including raw materials suppliers, manufacturers and converters, distributors and wholesalers, foodservice and hospitality operators, and waste collectors and recyclers.
Membership of the FPA gives exclusive access to member-only information and resources, such as government proposals and legislation, current best practice, news, information and trends, our weekly news digest.
This essential information keeps our members at the top of their game.
FPA guides are designed to help our members navigate complex pieces of legislation. The first in the series is the FPA Guide to Packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (pEPR), compiled following feedback from members asking for greater clarity.
