Chairman’s Letter

Dear Friends:

Wel­come to the Reusable Pack­ag­ing Association’s (RPA) web site. The Reusable Pack­ag­ing Asso­ci­a­tion is a col­lab­o­ra­tive effort between man­u­fac­tur­ers, pool­ers, dis­trib­u­tors, retail­ers and edu­ca­tors to pro­mote the envi­ron­men­tal, safety, and eco­nomic ben­e­fits of reusable pack­ag­ing. The RPA serves as the col­lec­tive voice of the indus­try and uses its knowl­edge of the mem­bers’ prod­ucts and ser­vices to advance the adop­tion of reusable pack­ag­ing and sys­tems through­out the sup­ply chain. Our asso­ci­a­tion is focused on pro­mot­ing the expan­sion of reusables as the pre­ferred pack­ag­ing solu­tion across sup­ply chains in all industries.

We hope you will find the infor­ma­tion con­tained within the site to be use­ful. Our goal is to high­light cur­rent news about our indus­try and pro­vide our vis­i­tors use­ful tools to help those look­ing to make a switch from expend­able trans­port pack­ag­ing to reusables.

We’ve tried to make this site easy to use and pro­vide you with infor­ma­tion about our mem­ber com­pa­nies (see Mem­ber Direc­tory), infor­ma­tion about the over­all eco­nomic and social ben­e­fits of using reusables (see Why Choose Reusables and Eco­nomic Cal­cu­la­tors), and an archive of arti­cles to help you research the indus­try and learn more about what we do. We also pro­vide use­ful links to some of the other groups we work with and invite you to visit their sites as well.

If you are com­pany doing busi­ness in the reusable mar­ket­place, we invite you to find out more about our asso­ci­a­tion by vis­it­ing the Become a Mem­ber area. We encour­age you to join with us in our efforts to expand the use of reusable packaging.

If you need any assis­tance, please con­tact us at www.info@reusables.org. Thank you and enjoy our site.

Sin­cerely,

Mike Hacht­man
