DELAWARE, Ohio, Dec. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greif, Inc. (NYSE: GEF, GEF.B), a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, announced at the Pack-Expo conference in Chicago the launch of ModCan™, an innovative modular packaging solution designed to improve efficiency and safety in shipping and storing dissimilar materials and waste.

Using a unique wedge-shaped design, the modular components are engineered to fit precisely into a Greif 55-gallon drum, allowing multiple materials, chemicals, or waste components to be shipped together without fear of contamination or exposure. By optimizing the available space inside a single drum, ModCan reduces the number of shipments required and improves safety by eliminating the need to transfer or consolidate materials into larger containers.

This is particularly useful for waste applications in specialty manufacturing, semiconductor operations, clean rooms, laboratories, and pharmaceutical production.

“We’re very proud of ModCan and the way it was developed,” said Geoff Westphal, Director of Sustainable Innovation at Greif. The initial concept originated from a longstanding partner whose experience in the chemical industry proved that a more sustainable, efficient, and versatile packaging solution was possible. With the support of our in-house Innovation Team, we were able to refine this concept and bring it to market. We firmly believe ModCan will be a game changer for industrial waste management and other applications where different materials benefit from being shipped together safely and securely.

ModCan is currently available in North America. For more information, please visit greif.com/modcan .
