Packaging Task Force (PTF)
The Packaging Task Force (PTF) shapes the FDF's overarching strategy and positioning on the use of packaging, particularly plastics, to enable food and drink manufacturers to have a stronger voice in the public and political debate. This is to ensure that future policy changes deliver a net environmental benefit, avoid unintended consequences, and have a strong scientific and commercial basis.
The Task Force is particularly focused on building a more balanced narrative on industry's use of packaging, the efforts being made to reduce negative consequences for the environment and timeline for further improvements.
There is currently a vacancy for the Chair of the Task Force, which meets 3 times per year.
