What our INCPEN members say…

“I always found them super useful in my previous role. When I moved organisation, I was keen that we join INCPEN too”

“Our INCPEN membership is the best money I spend each year to be honest!” 

“The summaries INCPEN produce on Government consultations and new legislation are extremely helpful. Packaging is only part of the wider remit of my role and I don’t have time to go through them in depth myself”

“INCPEN sit in a valuable sweet spot in the packaging sector with an objectivity that comes from being material neutral and work spanning the whole value chain”

“They have always been known as an organisation strong on research,  I’m glad to see this continues with their large annual citizen survey. It throws up some really helpful insights”

“It’s good to know INCPEN has ‘got my back’ when it comes to keeping up with regulatory changes on packaging and what they may mean for my sector and my organisation”

INCPEN Trades Associations Group (TAG)

INCPEN has well established partnerships with like-minded organisations who also have interests in packaging systems. This is our Trades Associations Group (INCPEN TAG). TAG includes all the main packaging materials sectors: cartons, glass, metals, paper/card, plastics and wood. We pull together this collective of 41 representative bodies and benefit each other from sharing collaborative approaches on packaging issues, particularly government consultations shaping UK and European packaging policies.
