Not to mention the positive environmental impact Pregis has by eliminating product damages and re-ships which take a significant toll on the eco-system.

Pregis focuses on preserving the environment by creating packaging for the circular economy. We're always looking at how we can manufacture the highest quality protective packaging while utilizing less raw materials and maximizing recycled content. And as a member of How2Recycle®, Pregis adds the consumer-friendly recycling labels to products like air pillows and mailer bags to increase the amount of material that is recycled and given a second life.

#InspyreChange
The #InspyreChange initiative is an easy to plug into a social responsibility campaign that allows brands to both contribute to fighting water insecurities and make an unforgettable connection with their customers.
How it Works
For every roll of HC Inspyre packaging sold, Pregis makes a donation to Uzima, a non-profit that provides water filters to people without access to clean drinking water. Your customers will receive water-blue inflatable cushioning with an insert explaining your company is helping to fight water insecurities, an issue that impacts nearly one billion people across the globe.

Consumers, especially Millenials and Gen Z, are more in tune with the impact that the companies have on their communities, the environment and the social issues.
