Pregis joined by NOVA Chemicals to support clean water initiative

DEERFIELD, Ill. (News release) -- To support the clean water mission, NOVA Chemicals is donating film resins to Pregis for the production of its Inspyrebrand line of colorful hybrid-cushioning protective packaging. A portion of the proceeds from Inspyre packaging sales are donated to the Uzima Clean Water Mission.

"The resins provided by NOVA Chemicals will enable to Pregis to provide greater financial support to Uzima.
