Our 2K30 Goals
Our purpose to Protect, Preserve and Inspyre drives our goals.
Our bold commitments will yield shared benefits
Our goals are bold, intentionally. They’re meant to lead the industry into a more environmentally responsible future by 2030. With our employees, organization, and customers focused on achieving tangible impacts, we move closer to our Climate Pledge promise of net zero emissions by 2040.
GOAL ONE
Prevent 1M Reships Caused by Damage
Preventing damage and waste is one of the most effective ways to reduce landfill waste and do more with less. Our 2K30 goals focus on helping companies make the right packaging choices to ship better and waste less – the first time.
We're committed to helping customers eliminate a million unnecessary reships through better design and data-driven packaging solutions.


GOAL TWO
Make 100% of Pregis products either recyclable, reusable, or with a minimum of 30% recycled content
Our goal is to lead the industry in future-ready, sustainable packaging.
Our 4R’s framework of reducing materials, using renewable resources and recycled content and designing for recyclability guides our product development and encourages design with impact in mind.
We believe innovation should be proactive—not reactive—which is why we’re investing in circular materials like advanced recycled and bio-based resins. With multiple ISCC PLUS certified facilities across the globe, we’re expanding access to high-performance, low-impact solutions.
This helps our customers stay ahead of regulations, reduce their environmental footprint, and meet rising customer demand for sustainable products.
GOAL THREE
Prevent 15M trees from being harvested through use of recycled fiber
Preserving natural resources is at the core of the Pregis Purpose.
We prioritize recycled materials and partner only with suppliers who meet strict forestry and chain of custody standards.
Our Pregis EasyPack® line uses 100% recycled paper—helping save trees and lower carbon impact—while meeting growing customer demand for curbside recyclable, paper-based packaging.
As we innovate, we remain focused on balancing performance and environmental impact in every material we choose.


GOAL FOUR
Achieve zero waste at 100% of Pregis facilities globally
Zero waste isn’t just a target—it’s a way to streamline our operations.
We prevent waste before it starts, recycle what we can’t avoid, and partner with experts to keep materials out of landfills.
We apply these principles and our 4R’s framework across our manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and offices to run more efficiently and sustainably.
By preventing waste before it’s created, we reduce our use of raw materials and the energy needed to make our products. What we can’t prevent, we recycle or compost through trusted partners—keeping valuable materials out of landfills and limiting the need for new resource extraction.
This strategy helps lower emissions and shrink the carbon footprint of both our business and our customers.
Behind it all is a team of operations experts constantly working to improve our systems and make our goal our reality.
GOAL FIVE
Reduce operational greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 25%
Net zero is our North Star.
On the way to net zero, our goal is to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions intensity of our operations by 25% by 2030.
We’re rethinking every step of the product journey—from design to disposal—to create lower-impact solutions. Through better data, smarter sourcing, and process innovation, we've already removed the equivalent of 4.5 million cars’ worth of CO₂ from our supply chain.


GOAL SIX
Invest $15M in circular, scalable sustainable material, process and waste solutions
We’re backing the shift to a circular economy with funding that supports sustainable materials and infrastructure to reach zero-waste processes.
This investment is already helping divert millions of pounds of waste from landfills through products like the curbside-recyclable EverTec™ mailer.
It’s a commitment to create high performance packaging that leaves a lighter footprint.
GOAL SEVEN
Positively Impact 25M Lives
Pregis is committed to creating meaningful change—locally and globally. Our 2030 goal to impact 25 million lives reflects a deep belief that business should serve people.
Through employee-driven service projects, philanthropic donations from Inspyre products, corporate partnerships with Uzima and Feeding America, and focused efforts on improving access to food and clean water, we’re building stronger communities and sharing our purpose-led passion with customers.
