Layoffs, closures announced by Dow, Orbis, Greif in January

"Major shifts are rocking the packaging industry in 2025, with over 6,000 jobs affected by closures in 2024. Greif is shutting two U.S. mills, impacting 140 workers, while Orbis relocates from Wisconsin to Texas, cutting 109 jobs. Packaging Corporation of America and RR Donnelley are following suit, affecting 103 and 88 workers respectively.

But here’s the insider scoop: this consolidation signals a pivot to higher efficiency and eco-friendly technologies.
