What our members say…

“I always found INCPEN to be super useful in my previous role so when I moved organisation, I was keen that we signed up for membership”

“The summaries INCPEN produces on Government consultations and new legislation are really helpful for me. Packaging is only part of the wide environmental remit of my role and I don’t have time to go through them all in depth myself”

“INCPEN sits in a valuable sweet spot in the packaging sector because they have an objectivity that comes from their material neutrality and their work spans the whole value chain”

“INCPEN has always been known as an organisation strong on research, it is good that this continues with their annual citizen insights work”

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

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 39 representative bodies and benefit each other from sharing collaborative approaches on packaging issues, particularly government consultations shaping UK and European packaging policies.
