Tubes and Cores

Greif is a leading recycler in North America, and these 100% Recycled Paperboard convolute and spiral tubes and cores are a big part of that. They can be used for tube, can, and core manufacturing. 

Tubes-And-Cores

Overview

Paper tubes and cores are fundamental components in a wide range of industrial and commercial activities. Their environmental friendliness, adaptability, and cost efficiency make them indispensable, albeit often overlooked, elements of modern industry and commerce.

Tube and core products are essentially spiral paper products wound into a tube shape to protect the inside of rolled goods (cores) or protect and form contents that go inside (tubes). Greif offers many grades of tubes and cores, with an adeptness at specialty applications for specific industries and products. By offering a range of grades and specialty tubes, Greif can meet their customers’ diverse needs while promoting a more sustainable approach to packaging.

Greif uses a strong and sustainable supply chain to make paper packaging. This means that old corrugated containers that are reclaimed are turned into recycled paperboard. This commitment to sustainability and responsible packaging practices sets Greif apart from other packaging companies and showcases their dedication to making a positive impact on the environment.

SUSTAINABILITY SERVICES

Made with 100% Recycled Paperboard

Greif is a leading recycler in North America, where our paper business is a net positive recycler.

We are serious about sustainability and focused on reducing the environmental impact of our products. The circular economy process flow starts with collecting fiber from used Greif products and other sources and ends with producing 100% recycled paperboard products. Our recycling facilities compile and sort recovered fiber material, bale it, and deliver it to Greif paper mills.

Collected fiber gets broken down through a repulping process. Once the fibers are separated and free of contaminants, recycled paperboard results after a milling process. We use our paperboard to make tubes and cores of various diameters. These tubes and cores end up in many applications, including paper manufacturing, yarns, textiles, and carpet manufacturing.

Certifications

FSC®, SFI®, and PEFC Certifications ensure that products come from responsibly managed forests that produce environmental, social, and economic benefits. Greif customers can purchase coated recycled corrugated board with confidence.

Please ask us for more information about our FSC-certified products.
