At Greif, we know our customers are looking for packaging solutions that not only perform but also support their sustainability goals. That’s why EcoBalance™ was created. To provide durable, high-performance industrial packaging that helps reduce environmental impact in measurable ways.
Today, EcoBalance has grown to give you even more options. What began with plastic drums and jerrycans now includes closures and low-carbon emission steel products, giving you a more complete sustainable packaging solution from the inside out. With EcoBalance, you can confidently choose packaging that protects your products while also protecting the environment.
From Drums to Closures: A Holistic Approach
You gain more than just reliable packaging with EcoBalance™; you gain solutions that actively reduce your environmental footprint. Our plastic packaging and components deliver higher recycled content, BPA-free linings, and lower CO₂ emissions, all while keeping your products safe and performing at the highest level.
With Tri-Sure® EcoBalance closures, you seal your containers sustainably. These closures match your EcoBalance drums with leak-tight protection you can trust, and we produce them with recycled materials and optimized processes that cut environmental impact.
Together, your drum body and closure create a packaging system that drives your circular economy goals forward.
Introducing EcoBalance™ Low-Carbon Emission Steel Drums
You can now choose EcoBalance™ in steel. By partnering with ArcelorMittal, we use XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel—made with up to 75% recycled content and powered entirely by renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro.
Through Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) technology and green hydrogen or natural gas, these drums deliver:
- ~60% cradle-to-gate carbon footprint reduction
- ~10% cradle-to-grave carbon footprint reduction

All while maintaining the strength, safety, and compliance you need for the most demanding applications.

- Meet ESG targets with proven, data-backed reductions in carbon footprint
