MISSION STATEMENT OF THE PACKAGING COUNCIL OF AUSTRALIA
The Packaging Council of Australia, which was formed in 1978, is the peak national industry association and the voice of the Australian packaging industry. The Council's National Office is based in Melbourne and branches exist in all mainland States. Funding for the Council is substantially derived from membership subscriptions. It does not receive government funding.
The PCA is also represented on a number of organisations of importance to the packaging industry, including EAN Australia (the Australian Product Number Association) and the Beverage Industry Environment Council (BIEC), as well as various Committees of Standards Australia.
The PCA is an active member of the Asian Packaging Federation. It also acts to co-ordinate other organisations, as appropriate, when responding to government inquiries and broad industry issues.
