The Power of Less report
Through interviews with key industry players this report details how businesses can design out waste to enable a circular economy.
Today packaging is more relevant than ever and the benefits of a strategic and sustainable packaging solution can help reduce complexity and cost, manage risk and support growth opportunities.
The Power of Less was exclusively launched at Resource 2015 at the Excel Arena London, the largest free-to-attend circular economy event in the UK, where DS Smith was lead partner.
As a leading provider of packaging and recycling solutions we showed thousands of business professionals how the way to circular becomes clear through the crucial role packaging plays in the circular economy.
