About FPI

Founded in 1933, the Foodservice Packaging Institute (FPI) is the trade association for the foodservice packaging industry in North America. FPI promotes the value and benefits of foodservice packaging and serves as the industry’s leading authority to educate and influence stakeholders. Members include raw material and machinery suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and purchasers of foodservice packaging.

In order to address one of the industry’s greatest challenges – increasing the recovery of foodservice packaging through recycling, composting or energy recovery – FPI facilitated the launch of the Paper Recovery Alliance (PRA) in 2011 and the Plastics Recovery Group (PRG) in 2012. Together, the groups support the recovery system through development of the collection and processing infrastructure by aligning supply chain recovery partners, expansion of end use markets for recovered materials and educating and engaging consumers to increase recovery.
