EcoReel Recycling Program

What goes around comes around.

The EcoReel℠ Program provides measurable savings in disposal costs and resource utilization.

Since 1991, Sonoco Reels and Spools has been
recycling reels. Sonoco’s EcoReel recycling program is the most comprehensive, cost-effective nailed wood reel recycling program in the industry and is the only national provider of reel recycling services.

Collecting used reels from utility companies, contractors and distributors, we repair and refurbish them and then return them for reuse. Flexibility in program design is a key success factor, so we collaborate with customers to ensure success. And if a customer needs details of how many trees and how much landfill space has been saved, we can provide a thorough environmental analysis to use in marketing and sales efforts.


The EcoReel Recycling Program:

  • makes reel recycling effortless with a customized EcoReel program designed to meet your specific needs
  • creates a savings for the cost of disposal and landfill fees
  • helps you generate regular reports detailing the environmental impact of your program participation
