Pregis Purpose Awards
Pregis was founded with a mission to protect the most valuable commodities: our customers’ packages and the planet. This mission shaped our long-standing commitment to advancing sustainable packaging and circular material practices. Over the next decade, many of our partners around the world have embraced that commitment.
The Pregis Purpose Awards celebrate partners who lead with purpose through sustainability, corporate stewardship and community improvement. Rooted in measurable progress, these awards recognize partners taking meaningful action toward lasting environmental and social impact.
Preserve Award
Trees saved through 100% recycled paper solutions
The Pregis Preserve Award recognizes partners who reduce demand for virgin fiber by offering Pregis Easypack® paper made with 100% recycled content, including Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) certified options. By opting for recycled materials, companies help limit the harvesting of new trees.
Why every tree counts
Each tree preserved plays a vital role in improving air quality, boosting biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, “trees improve air quality by absorbing pollutants like carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides,” while enhancing water quality by preventing runoff and reducing erosion.

Inspyre Award
Lives changed through clean water partnership
The Pregis Inspyre Award honors partners who improve lives through meaningful action.
By offering the Pregis Inspyre™ packaging portfolio, these partners go beyond protecting products. They’re helping bring clean water to communities in need around the world. It’s a commitment to real, lasting impact.
Join the fight against water insecurity

Renew Award
Carbon emissions reduced through packaging made with recycled content
The Pregis Renew Award honors partners who reduce carbon emissions by offering packaging solutions made with recycled content. By reducing reliance on virgin material extraction, these partners take practical steps that support emissions reduction while protecting packaging performance.
Driving carbon reduction through smarter packaging choices
Producing packaging from virgin plastic resources requires significant energy, from extraction through processing and transport. Using recycled content helps reduce the need for these energy intensive steps by keeping existing materials in use. As a result, packaging made with recycled content helps lower material related carbon emissions while supporting more efficient use of resources over time.

Recover Award
Waste diverted through foam densification and return
The Pregis Recover Award honors fabricator partners who participate in the Pregis® Foam Densifier Program, helping divert foam waste from landfills by returning densified material for recycling. Through the program, loose foam scrap is compacted onsite and returned for recycling, where recovered material can be used in the manufacturing of new products, including Pregis products, reducing disposal needs and supporting circular economy principles.
Reducing transport emissions through foam densification
By densifying foam scrap at the source, partners significantly reduce the volume of material shipped, resulting in fewer transportation trips compared to loose foam collection. Reducing transportation volume plays an important role in lowering material handling and logistics related emissions, while helping valuable materials remain in use longer.
