Welcome to the Foodservice Packaging Association
The FPA is the voice of the foodservice packaging industry, working hard to secure the future of the sector.
Foodservice packaging
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.
Why join the FPA?
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.
FPA Code of Practice
All FPA members abide by the Code of Practice and the FPA Packaging Charter. This is the cornerstone of membership and signals that a business operates to the highest of standards.
Buying from an FPA member is a responsible purchasing decision.
