Pregis® has expanded its AirSpeed® Renew™ PCR portfolio made from 80% post-consumer recycled content in North America. The two new on-demand inflatable solutions underscore the company’s commitment to delivering sustainable, performance-driven packaging that supports the circular economy.

By incorporating 80% PCR content the product line’s carbon footprint is reduced by over 40% compared to the same packaging made from virgin resin as measured by an internally conducted life cycle assessment.

The AirSpeed® Renew™ PCR portfolio featuring 80% PCR expanded to include:
*New AirSpeed® Double Cushion Renew™ PCR: Ideal for flexible void-fill applications, providing top, side and corner protection. Its compact double-cushion design fits tight spaces, delivering reliable protection without compromising durability.

Sonoco Implementing Tube & Core Scrap Return Subscription Service

Sonoco announced its Tube & Core North America division will implement a tube and core scrap return subscription service, effective July 1, 2020. The subscription service is voluntary and will only be in effect if a customer chooses to return scrap tubes and cores to a Sonoco supplying facility. For many years, Sonoco offered this service at no cost to customers, however fluctuations in the value of the returned materials, along with the rising costs of labor, freight and other processing costs, required leadership to review this valuable offering. When OCC is at or above $90 per ton, Sonoco will continue to offer a core scrap return program with no fees. However, when OCC values drop below $90/ton (RISI’s – Southeast Region – High), a fee of $95 will be added to each invoice for new tube and core shipments. At the point when OCC again increases over the threshold of $90 per ton, the service fee will be removed.
