Replacing 1 billion pieces (and counting) of plastic with sustainable packaging solutions

In partnership with some of the world's most iconic FMCG brands, we have been leading the plastic replacement fight. Since 2020, we have replaced over 1 billion everyday plastic items from supermarket shelves, including fruit and vegetable punnets, plastic carriers, and shrink wrap found on soft drink bottles.

 

^{*Our plastic replacement target concerned any primary or secondary plastic packaging that has now been reduced or completely removed from customers’ packaging as a direct result of DS Smith’s solution.}

^{**Any plastic, whether from the customer’s primary or secondary packaging, that has now been reduced in volume or completely removed from the customer’s existing packaging as a direct result of DS Smith’s “plastic replacement” packaging solution, is considered within scope of this target. Plastics include, but are not limited to: HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PA (nylon), PE-maleic anhydride, PET, PP, PP orientated, PS, PU, PVC, Foams (e.g. EPE, EPS, EPU), and Laminates.}
