With a sustainable IBC solution, Greif is helping paint manufacturer Schulz to reduce its CO2<\/sub>-emissions.

Greif is helping the German paint manufacturer Schulz Farben und Lackfabrik GmbH to reduce its carbon footprint. By using the sustainable GCUBE IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) with Post Consumer Resin (PCR), the company has succeeded in significantly reducing its carbon footprint. The PCR plastic comes from from a completely closed recycling loop.<\/strong> <\/p>

The GCUBE IBC from Greif is made of 60 per cent PE and 40 per cent PCR. To ensure product integrity, the inner layer of the IBC container is made of 100 per cent new HDPE, while the outer layer is made of PCR. the outer layer is mainly made of PCR<\/strong>. Most of the external components such as corner protectors, plastic feet and pallets are also made of recycled polyethylene.<\/p>

The used PCR is obtained from old IBCs,<\/strong> which are reprocessed in Greif's reconditioning and recycling plant in Mendig.<\/p>

The closed recycling loop from collection to delivery of the IBCs ensures complete reconditioning and reuse, so that no waste products are produced.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Schulz company has been using standard IBCs for many years and was looking for for new ways to reduce environmental pollution<\/strong>. \u201eSwitching to the GCube IBC with PCR has helped us to achieve our sustainability goals, as we have been able to reduce both raw material consumption and CO\u2082 emissions,\u201d explains a spokesperson for Schulz. \u201eWe also have plants in other countries, but production takes place exclusively in Germany<\/strong>, which is why a reliable, local supplier is of great importance to us.\u201d<\/p>

The GCube IBC with PCR is an extension of Greif's EcoBalance<\/a>-product line, which includes drums and other transport containers made from PCR. EcoBalance supports many Greif customers in achieving their sustainability goals, including the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption and the avoidance of waste<\/strong>.<\/p>
