The Foodservice Packaging Institute (FPI) is a North American trade association for the foodservice packaging industry. Established in 1933 and based in Falls Church, Virginia, it brings together members across the packaging supply chain, including raw material and machinery suppliers, packaging converters, distributors, and operators or retailers. The organization operates within the packaging and containers manufacturing sector, focusing on industrywide collaboration rather than product development or sales. A notable development in 2025 is a partnership with First Star Recycling to identify new end markets and processing partners for recycled foodservice items, such as hot and cold paper cups and pizza boxes. In addition, FPI pursues recycling outreach and education efforts by developing tailored materials and coordinating with communities and material recovery facilities to improve recycling of cups and take-out containers.
