About us
The European Converted Paper Association (ECPA) is the collective voice of the converted paper industry in Europe, representing a diverse network of manufacturers and suppliers dedicated to supporting businesses with high-quality, functional paper solutions.
As an association, we aim to unite industry stakeholders under a common mission: to promote the value of paper receipts as indispensable tools for transparency, security, and consumer confidence.
ECPA advocates for the benefits of paper receipts, which are essential for ensuring accurate pricing, clear record-keeping, and compliance with consumer rights legislation. By representing the interests of our members at the European level, we foster constructive dialogue with policymakers, regulators, and other stakeholders to shape a future where paper products remain integral to modern commerce.
