The Role of Sustainable Materials in ESG: Gorilla Drum & ABG
Part 1/5: Gorilla Drum and ABGBAG
In recent years, the rise of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria has shifted the focus for many companies towards sustainable business practices. Gorilla Drum and ABG BAG, two prominent female-owned and WBENC-certified (Women’s Business Enterprise National Council) product manufacturers, play a pivotal role in supporting ESG efforts through our eco-friendly product lines.
Both companies provide alternatives to traditional packaging, safe containment and transport, emphasizing sustainable materials, reducing waste, and supporting a circular economy. Notably, all of our products are 100% recyclable, and most are incinerable, allowing them to contribute to the clean energy, waste-to-fuel processes.
Gorilla Drum's Contributions
Gorilla Drum manufactures containers that replace both 55-gallon steel drums and conventional plastic drums. These containers are the only 55-gallon drum alternatives that are both UN and DOT approved. They are designed from woven polypropylene combined with a 6-mil nylon or metallocene liner; each being durable, recyclable and incinerable materials.
Their recyclable nature ensures that, at the end of their life cycle, they can be reprocessed into new products, thus reducing landfill waste. Additionally, these drums are 100% incinerable, supporting waste-to-energy systems that convert waste materials into energy, promoting a cleaner alternative to traditional waste disposal methods reducing landfill usage by an average of 96% of original volume.
ABG's Impact
ABG Bag Inc. specializes in creating eco-friendly alternatives for transformer containment systems, spill containment berms, contaminated dirt and material containers, and heavy-duty material tarps. Our products are 100% recyclable and designed to be incinerable, which means that they can be safely used in waste-to-energy processes, minimizing waste impact while contributing to renewable energy solutions.
By providing recyclable and incinerable products, Gorilla Drum and ABG support the circular economy, reduce the environmental footprint of packaging, and contribute to waste-to-energy initiatives—essential components of ESG efforts.
