What are Greif® Factory Seconds?
Our Factory Seconds consist of drums that may have minor cosmetic imperfections, were part of an order cancellation, or are discontinued overstock. Despite these minor variations, every drum is inspected at our Harrodsburg, KY facility to ensure it meets our structural standards.
Environmental Impact: Utilizing factory seconds reduces industrial waste and supports your company’s circular economy initiatives by giving perfectly functional containers a second life.
