Greif is a leading recycler in North America, and these 100% Recycled Paperboard convolute and spiral tubes and cores are a big part of that. They can be used for tube, can, and core manufacturing.
Paper tubes and cores are fundamental components in a wide range of industrial and commercial activities. Their environmental friendliness, adaptability, and cost efficiency make them indispensable, albeit often overlooked, elements of modern industry and commerce.
Tube and core products are essentially spiral paper products wound into a tube shape to protect the inside of rolled goods (cores) or protect and form contents that go inside (tubes). Greif offers many grades of tubes and cores, with an adeptness at specialty applications for specific industries and products. By offering a range of grades and specialty tubes, Greif can meet their customers’ diverse needs while promoting a more sustainable approach to packaging.
Greif uses a strong and sustainable supply chain to make paper packaging. This means that old corrugated containers that are reclaimed are turned into recycled paperboard. This commitment to sustainability and responsible packaging practices sets Greif apart from other packaging companies and showcases their dedication to making a positive impact on the environment.
Paper packaging from Greif is a mainstay in the North American industrial landscape. The popularity of sustainable packaging that holds and protects products from their production to end users pushes offerings like corrugated tubes and cores beyond a simple, cost-effective solution.
Greif's circular economy supply chain ensures that their packaging materials are not only high-quality, but also environmentally friendly. Greif is a top choice as a partner for businesses looking to reduce their environmental footprint. As the demand for sustainable packaging solutions continues to grow, Greif is leading the way in the corrugated tube industry and setting an example for other companies to follow.
Construction forming tubes, Protect-A-Floor, and many textile tubes can be customized in appearance. Tubes and cores from Greif can end up in many applications supporting paper manufacturing (at Greif and elsewhere), yarns, textiles, carpet manufacturing, shipping tubes, and more.
The diverse paper tube offering from Greif is never-ending. That's because customer needs evolve and grow, so we also evolve and grow what we make to meet the tube and core demand as it emerges or develops.
Greif is a leading recycler in North America, where our paper business is a net positive recycler.
We are serious about sustainability and focused on reducing the environmental impact of our products. The circular economy process flow starts with collecting fiber from used Greif products and other sources and ends with producing 100% recycled paperboard products. Our recycling facilities compile and sort recovered fiber material, bale it, and deliver it to Greif paper mills.
Collected fiber gets broken down through a repulping process. Once the fibers are separated and free of contaminants, recycled paperboard results after a milling process. We use our paperboard to make tubes and cores of various diameters. These tubes and cores end up in many applications, including paper manufacturing, yarns, textiles, and carpet manufacturing.
FSC®, SFI®, and PEFC Certifications ensure that products come from responsibly managed forests that produce environmental, social, and economic benefits. Greif customers can purchase coated recycled corrugated board with confidence.
Please ask us for more information about our FSC-certified products.
