As part of Menasha Corporation, with a legacy of environmental stewardship that spans 175 years, ORBIS is committed to helping companies reduce their impact on the planet. Reusables are designed for a long service life, multiple trips and are intended to replace single-use boxes and pallets in the supply chain. By design, reusable totes, pallets, dunnage, metal racks and bulk systems are used over and over during the course of their service life. At the end of their life, they can be recovered, recycled and reprocessed into new packaging products…without entering the solid waste stream.
We are passionate about helping our customers drive their sustainability each and every day to improve their business. Contact us today to learn more.

Get started today:
According to Oceana, 17.6 billion pounds of plastics enter our oceans every year. ORBIS recently launched its Ocean in Mind packaging initiative, which focuses on recovering and repurposing single-use plastic waste found on coastlines and using it in supply chain packaging. By definition, this is plastic waste recovered within 32 miles from a coastline. This waste typically consists of single-use consumer packaging waste, including beverage packaging, shampoo bottles, plastic bags, etc.
With this new capability from ORBIS, recovered coastline plastic waste is blended with other materials during the ORBIS manufacturing process to create containers and pallets. This material recovery offers a new stream of recycled content for reusable plastic packaging that reduces waste, conserves natural coastlines and supports economies in developing coastline communities in countries like Haiti, Egypt, Philippines, Indonesia and Brazil. Connect with ORBIS today to learn how this new material can drive sustainability efforts in your business.
As a steward of sustainability, ORBIS is committed to driving the circular economy and a better world for future generations through environmentally-friendly product design, sustainable operations and material usage.
Menasha and ORBIS are committed to reducing our impact on the planet.
- Water Use – We have decreased our use of water by almost 90% in the last 10 years through conservation and reuse.
- Waste Reduction – Recycling and process improvements have driven down our company-wide pounds of waste/production ton by 9% over the last 10 years.
- CO2/Emissions Reduction – We have reduced our total greenhouse gas emissions by 15%, while doubling in size over the last 10 years.
By 2030, we pledge to reduce our water use by another 10%, landfill waste by another 10% and total emissions by another 10% per production ton. It all adds up to a cleaner world for the next generation.

As part of Menasha Corporation, caring about our environment has been part of our fabric for 175 years. From sourcing to design, manufacturing to distribution, to the retail aisle and beyond, we understand the impact we have on the circular economy and are committed to continued leadership in this space. The circular economy concept — which is based on a continuous flow of product— is the future of a successful, sustainable supply chain.
The three principles of the circular economy include the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. We are committed to designing out waste (reduce), keeping products in use (reuse) and repurposing resources (recycle).
Get circular with ORBIS. When your packaging is at end-of-life, Recycle with ORBIS is a convenient program designed to effectively recover, recycle and reprocess packaging into other useful product for your next program. With ORBIS, we help you close the loop, with zero impact to the solid waste stream.
