On november 2, EarthMinded™ Life Cycle Services officially debuted to the public. Greif is now part of the largest industrial packaging reconditioner in the world. EarthMinded LCS includes Greif's subsidiary pack2pack (p2p) with eight sites in seven countries across Europe and Container Life Cycle Management (CLCM) in North America. The EarthMinded LCS network in North America also includes Container Management Services covering the western United States. Each leader in the network was chosen based on expertise, environmentally responsible practices, reputation and commitment to satisfying the customer.
But it doesn't stop here. EarthMinded LCS intends to expand its network globally with service providers who meet its strict standards. EarthMinded LCS is developing new technology and business approaches to transform and help industrial packaging users achieve their sustainability objectives.
“We bring greater simplicity, efficiency, flexibility and world-class quality in reconditioning services and related products to customers,” said EarthMinded LCS President Dano Lister. “We also help customers compete more effectively in an increasingly resource-constrained and regulated world.”
A unique benefit of the business is its proprietary reporting tool. “Customers who become members will receive verifiable reports detailing the reduced environmental impact of their industrial packaging entrusted to us,” Dano said. “These reports allow our customers to document their achievements and meet the growing demand for more sustainable packaging.”
In addition to the knowledge that used industrial packaging is responsibly handled, EarthMinded LCS offers savings to customers who want to reduce their total cost of packaging ownership. The collection service provides a practical alternative to storing used industrial packages on site or transporting them for disposal, with the attendant trucking costs and disposal fees.
As the world’s largest reconditioner we can attract the amount of reusable industrial packaging to maintain a consistent supply. Our customers can be assured that we have the financial and physical resources to serve them well into the future.” “Another core benefit is time savings for our customers,” Dano said. “We provide one-stop convenience, giving each customer the ability to manage the industrial packaging needs of one or multiple sites, from the collection of used to the delivery of reconditioned and new industrial packaging.” Currently composed of pack2pack with operations in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom; the joint venture Container Life Cycle Management; and network participants, EarthMinded Life Cycle Services delivers reconditioned and remanufactured industrial packaging and related services throughout Europe and North America.
Through its integrated network, the business provides the most reliable, cost-effective one-stop service possible to member customers who have one site or several in multiple countries. Already the world’s largest industrial packaging reconditioner, EarthMinded LCS will continue to grow worldwide through acquisitions, green field development and with the selective addition of other environmentally responsible companies into the network.
