Committees
RPA committees bring members together in a collaborative environment to address common issues and to advance industry projects. These committees lead the execution of the RPA strategic plan and are the primary avenues for RPA members to network and collaborate for the advancement of industry objectives. The committee objectives may involve raising awareness about reusable packaging’s advantages in targeted markets, developing standards and best practices that optimize processes, or bringing visibility to new technologies that improve supply chain performance, for example.The committee agendas are aligned with the common business interests of RPA members. Member participation not only expands the knowledge and expertise in support of the committee’s work, but also offers direct involvement and firsthand experience that impact the member's business.
