DS Smith creates packaging that is 100% recyclable - Your gateway to the circular economy

We live in a world that is constantly changing and in which both small and large cities, as well as their inhabitants, are developing in parallel with the development of digital technologies, which are fundamentally changing the way we buy and live. It is not surprising that we expect more from the products we buy.

Among other things, customers are becoming more environmentally conscious and expect companies to reduce their impact on the environment during the production of their products. Finding a practical and sustainable solution requires new partnerships, a new way of thinking, and new leadership skills.

Sustainability is at the heart of our business and a cornerstone of our purpose "Redefining packaging for a changing world". We are proud of our sustainability strategy "For now and for the future", focused on the sustainability challenges we face today, as well as those that will affect future generations.

Our sustainability strategy is focused on 4 key goals: circularity, carbon, people and community, and nature.

With our circular packaging solutions, DS Smith can be your gateway to the circular economy. We help you design more sustainable packaging solutions, achieve your environmental goals and meet the growing demands of your customers for more sustainable packaging.

By analyzing and understanding your business and your supply chain, and guided by Circular Design Principles, DS Smith`s 700 designers and innovators create packaging solutions that provide the quality and performance you need, but without wasting unnecessary resources. We don`t compromise between protecting your products and a more efficient overall supply cycle, because we can do both at the same time.

By designing packaging that can be 100% recycled or reused, we help our customers to replace hard-to-recycle plastic with sustainable packaging solutions, and to keep materials in use for longer. We continue to innovate in new areas and explore options for reusable packaging to extend the life cycle of our products.

In addition to innovation and knowledge, our designers have at their disposal a large number of tools that help them create solutions that overcome all the challenges that are placed in front of the packaging: protection function, logistics function, promotional function, etc. as well as sustainability as a requirement of a relatively recent date. We are particularly proud of the tool Circular Design Matrix. With this pioneering tool we can assess and compare the circularity of packaging design using 8 different indicators.

The Circular Design Metrics - an industry first - provide clear identification of the sustainability performance of packaging design and show where to focus attention.

Recycling and environmental protection are inseparable processes. Recycling contributes to reducing waste and pollution, but it is also one of the fastest and easiest ways to reduce your carbon footprint. As Europe`s largest cardboard and paper recycling company, we have recycling and waste management solutions that greatly help us achieve our goals. By reducing our own carbon emissions and helping our partners, customers and suppliers to do the same, we are all contributing to a better future together.
