CHICAGO - May 6, 2025 - PRLog -- Pregis^®, a global leader in protective packaging, mailing and bagging, and flexible packaging solutions, announces the results of its annual Pregis Purpose Awards, recognizing the significant contributions of channel partners in advancing sustainable packaging.

The awards honor partners who embody the Pregis Purpose: to protect what matters, preserve the planet, and 'inspyre' change. By adopting and delivering key Pregis sustainable product lines throughout 2024, these partners drove meaningful environmental and social progress.

"Our distributor and fabricator partners play a critical role in extending the reach and impact of Pregis sustainable packaging solutions," says Kris Getty, Chief Sustainability Officer of Pregis. "Together, we meet customer needs while delivering measurable environmental and social benefits. This year's results highlight the power of partnership in driving lasting impact."

The annual awards span three key categories:

Preserve Award: Trees saved through 100% recycled paper solutions
By providing Pregis EasyPack^® 100% recycled paper packaging, including FSC^® certified solutions, Pregis partners saved 573,000 trees from harvest. This collective effort reflects a shared commitment to responsible sourcing and forest preservation. Each tree saved translates to tangible environmental benefits, including cleaner air, improved water quality, and biodiversity conservation.

Inspyre Award: Lives changed through clean water partnership
By driving the adoption of the Pregis Inspyre™ portfolio, including paper, air cushioning, and mailing solutions, distributor partners have provided clean water to over 39,450 people in 2024. As a brand member of 1% for the Planet, 1% of all Inspyre portfolio sales support the Uzima Clean Water Mission, delivering life-changing water filters to communities in need. This nonprofit organization tirelessly works to eradicate waterborne diseases, improve economic conditions, advance gender equality, and enhance the quality of life for vulnerable populations.

Renew Award: Carbon emissions reduced through recycled content
The Pregis Renew Award recognizes companies that integrate products made with 30% or more recycled content into their solution portfolios, including AirSpeed^® Renew™ Inflatable Solutions and PolyPlank Renew^® Foam. By opting for recycled content solutions over virgin materials, distributors reduced 7,420 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. These solutions are designed to reduce environmental impact while maintaining high-performance standards.

The Pregis Purpose Awards underscore the essential role of channel partners in building a more sustainable future.

Award recipients receive a certificate and a comprehensive toolkit empowering them to share their achievements with a broader audience and indicate they are a trusted source for companies seeking sustainable packaging solutions.
