US converter Pregis is partnering with Circular Great Lakes (CGL), a regional initiative focused initially on keeping valuable plastics materials out of the waste stream and the environment.
The mission behind CGL’s ‘future without waste’ initiative aligns with the Pregis Purpose to ‘Protect, Preserve & Inspyre’ and its 2k30 sustainability goals. Pregis is committed to achieving circularity through product design and making end-of-life collection easier for consumers so materials can be brought back through the supply chain through recycling and reuse.
The company views this opportunity as a way to collaborate with industry members, academia, material processors and purpose-driven customers to create this circular economy.
