Founded in 1933, the Foodservice & Packaging Institute is the material-neutral trade association for manufacturers, raw material suppliers, machinery suppliers and distributors of foodservice packaging products. The industry’s products consist of single-use cups, plates, bowls, bags, wraps, cutlery, trays, egg packaging, nested dairy and salad containers and other foodservice packaging items.
FPI’s mission is to promote the sanitation, safety, functional, economic and environmental benefits of foodservice packaging products. FPI supports the environmentally-responsible manufacture, distribution, use and disposal of these products.
Indispensable to today’s consumers, foodservice packaging is typically used at home; in commercial foodservice, including fast food, convenience store, take-out, home-delivery and concession operations; and in institutional settings, such as cafeterias in schools, health-care facilities, corporations and correctional facilities.
