About Membership
The Sustainable Packaging Coalition carries out its mission and operates through its dedicated members. We bring together businesses, educational institutions, organizations, and government agencies that make up the entire lifecycle of packaging from sourcing to end-of-life considerations. With the guidance of our SPC staff, we encourage and maintain a collaborative environment with the end goal of advancing and strengthening the business case for more sustainable packaging.
Since 2004, the SPC has been the leading voice on packaging sustainability. By giving our members a space at the table, we continue to build a more sustainable future. Membership provides access to our member directory, published material, technical guides, and reports. In addition to our industry leading annual SPC events, our collaborative space creates an environment to introduce new product ideas and partnership with others within similar supply chain positions.

GreenBlue invites these organizations to attend open SPC events and encourages opportunities for open exchanges.
GreenBlue may refuse to renew the membership of any company that it determines, in its sole discretion, has engaged in behavior that harms the SPC or GreenBlue or disrupts the SPC mission.
