The Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment (ACE) UK represents the leading manufacturers of food and drink cartons for the UK and European markets.

ACE UK’s objective is to promote food and drink cartons as a renewable, fully recyclable and low carbon packaging choice and delivers environmental initiatives in the UK on behalf of our members, including running the industry’s food and drink carton recycling programme.

The Federation of Cardboard and Paper Products brings together converters of flat cardboard for folding cartons, corrugated cardboard, tubes and angles, and manufacturers of paper-cardboard stationery products. It manages the national collective agreement for cardboard, defends paper and cardboard packaging, ensures economic, regulatory and technological monitoring of the sector, and participates in the sector’s training bodies.

 The Confederation of Paper Industries (CPI) is the leading trade association representing the UK’s Paper-based Industries, comprising paper and board manufacturers and converters, corrugated packaging producers, makers of soft tissue papers, and collectors of paper for recycling.
