Sustainability

At Greif, we understand your packaging must protect product purity, comply with mandatory regulations, and support safety.

Greif is a leader in sustainable innovations

A sustainable future doesn’t come from a single source but from the sum of many small and big things amassed through innovation and dedication to the principles of circularity and sustainability.

ECO Paint

Technologies Images eco paint drum

For an eco-friendly solution to industrial packaging, Greif has developed Eco Paint – the latest in green technology for your steel drums. With innovative process optimizations designed to reduce paint and solvent waste while still maintaining a high level of efficiency, you can help protect our planet by reducing Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) levels as well as chemical emission into the atmosphere. Plus, any leftover paint is re-used instead of incinerated, giving less CO2 output than before.

EcoPaint is currently available in Spain. If you are interested in availability in your area, please let us know

EcoBalance

eco-balance-2

EcoBalance is a product line of industrial containers made from post-consumer recycled resin (PCR), significantly reducing the need to use virgin resin.  Using PCR to produce new products helps reduce waste and conserve resources, as it requires less energy and raw materials than having new plastic from virgin materials. Additionally, using PCR helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production and disposal of plastic, making it a more environmentally friendly option. Greif is proud to be a leader in sustainability and circularity, and we look forward to helping you on your sustainabilty journey as well.
