About

Since 1999, the RPA (for­merly the RPCC) has been a col­lab­o­ra­tion between sup­ply chain part­ners to pro­mote the envi­ron­men­tal, safety, and eco­nomic ben­e­fits of reusable pack­ag­ing. It is a trade asso­ci­a­tion of lead­ing man­u­fac­tur­ers, pool­ers, dis­trib­u­tors, retail­ers, edu­ca­tors, and oth­ers with a com­mit­ment to reusable pack­ag­ing sys­tems and the mes­sage of re-use.

The RPA will con­tinue to lever­age its col­lec­tive voice of indus­try exper­tise to advance the adop­tion of reusable pack­ag­ing by clearly demon­strat­ing sup­ply chain effi­cien­cies, envi­ron­men­tal ben­e­fits, ergonomic improve­ments, and cost advan­tages to end users in all industries.

The RPA has a sin­gu­lar and pow­er­ful focus on pro­mot­ing the value and expan­sion of reusables as the pre­ferred pack­ag­ing solu­tion across sup­ply chains in all industries.
