About the Paperboard Packaging Alliance (PPA)
The Paperboard Packaging Alliance (PPA) is a joint initiative of the American Forest & Paper Association and the Paperboard Packaging Council. The mission is to promote the benefits of paperboard packaging and products to influence preference for these materials in packaging design and selection.
The PPA's main objectives are to:
- Plan and conduct the annual Student Design Challenge to promote innovative paperboard packaging design.
- Encourage college students in design, graphic arts and engineering programs to pursue careers in the paper-based packaging industry.
- Provide tools and resources to support paperboard packaging promotional programs.
