International Council of Beverages Associations

The International Council of Beverages Associations, previously called the ISDC, was established in 1995 to represent the beverage industry on a global level. The ICBA ensures the monitoring of issues which affect the beverage industry on a Codex Alimentarius level and that these issues are pursued with one voice whenever necessary.The Council also represents the beverage industry's interest pertaining to packaging, including waste management, recycling, safety, and any potential limitations which may be prescribed therein. The ICBA Secretariat operates on a rotating basis, every two years, between Washington, Brussels and Tokyo. The ICBA Council, previously called ISDC, resides alternately with the American Beverage Association in Washington, the Union of European Beverages Association UNESDA in Brussels and the Japan Soft Drinks Association in Tokyo.
