At Greif, sustainability is more than a corporate goal; it’s a commitment we make to our customers every day. That commitment took another critical step forward with the successful launch of a rooftop solar photovoltaic system at our Huizhou facility in China.
This investment strengthens our ability to deliver reliable, responsible, and competitive steel drum solutions, while helping customers meet their own environmental and sustainability objectives.
The PPWR is not just another regulatory directive; it is a legally binding framework across all EU member states, designed to reduce packaging waste, increase recyclability, promote reuse, mandate recycled content (PCR), and harmonise packaging standards across the European market.
The regulation entered into force on 11 February 2025, with many obligations taking effect from 12 August 2026.

Greif has long believed that the most meaningful innovations do not start in laboratories or trend reports; they start with listening to customers. The Knock Down Drum (KDD) is a clear example of this philosophy in action.
At Greif, responsibility isn’t just a value; it’s a promise to our customers. We are proud to share that this commitment has been recognized once again. For the seventh consecutive year, Greif has been named to Newsweek’s America’s Most Responsible Companies list.
This recognition reflects our daily efforts to implement ESG initiatives that directly support our customers’ sustainability goals, such as reducing environmental impact and enhancing supply chain resilience.
