Overview
"Successful packaging policies will be those which are environmentally, economically and scientifically sound, as well as socially and politically acceptable."
EUROPEN--The European Organization for Packaging and the Environment--is an industry and trade organization open to any company with an economic interest in packaging and packaged products. It presents the opinion of the packaging value chain on topics related to packaging and the environment.
Members of EUROPEN are identified as companies which support a united trade and industry organization, dedicated to satisfactorily resolving the environmental challenges facing the packaging chain in an active and co-operative manner without favouring any specific packaging material or system.
A Unique Industry and Trade Organization

- manufacturers of packaging;
- packaging users, irrespective of product, sales and distribution method;
