Sustainability Outreach As a long-standing trade association in North America with ongoing recycling and composting initiatives, there are clear collaboration opportunities for packaging suppliers, waste reduction technology vendors, and recycling program consultants to partner with FPI and member organizations to expand end-market acceptance and improve diversion rates.

Recycling Education FPI has launched resident education kits and tailored outreach materials across multiple communities and MRFs, indicating demand for regional training programs, digital engagement platforms, and content creation services that help operators and municipalities implement effective recycling messaging.

Partnership Network With a history of collaborations involving major players (including First Star Recycling and Georgia-Pacific) and a broad member base across raw materials, machinery, converters, distributors, and operators, there are numerous cross-sell and co-marketing opportunities for packaging equipment suppliers, waste processors, and material suppliers.

Webinars and Thought Leadership The ongoing webinar series on recovery of foodservice packaging items presents a channel to promote technical solutions, consulting services, and software platforms related to supply-chain traceability, recycling analytics, and program design for improved circularity.

Public Sector Engagement FPI’s active collaboration with communities and MRFs to develop campaign assets signals a ripe area for government grant-backed programs, pilot projects, and funding-enabled partnerships to scale recycling and composting initiatives in the foodservice packaging sector.
