FBF FAQs

What is the Film and Bag Federation?
The Film and Bag Federation (FBF) is a business unit of the Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc. (SPI) that actively promotes the growth of the plastic film and bag industry.

The SPI is the only trade association that represents all segments of our industry and the FBF is the only group that speaks for the plastic film and bag industry on both national -- and regional -- levels.

FBF membership includes companies that are in the plastic bag segment of the industry as well as those in the film sector. There is important synergy between the two groups as issues and concerns that affect one affect the other.

What are the goals of the FBF?
The FBF strives to represent and serve as the voice for the industry locally, nationally, and internationally. This includes providing effective industry representation, influence and leverage on public policy and government regulations. We work to promote industry growth, competitiveness and the advancement of technology.

It is our aim to provide a forum for addressing emerging environmental and legislative issues, to distribute educational materials, and promote the development of new applications and technology.

What kind of company belongs to the FBF?
One of FBF's greatest strengths is its diverse membership. The FBF brings together people and firms from all plastic film and bag industry segments. This includes all size companies, from all locations. The FBF membership doesn't target just one area of a business operation, or even geographic location. It is much broader.

An important membership value: FBF membership is company-based. So different individuals from a company can participate in -- and benefit from -- FBF activities.

Who participates in FBF activities?
At FBF programs, you'll find company owners, presidents, treasurers, chief executive officers, general and operations managers, marketing directors, sales representatives, plant and operations managers, human resource directors, and public policy executives -- to name a few. It is this diversity that makes FBF unique.

FBF programs are open to everyone who can use the information provided to enhance their business and operations.
