DS Smith has replaced 1 billion pieces of plastic packaging since 2020
DS Smith has replaced more than 1 billion pieces of plastic packaging – 16 months ahead of the 2025 target date – in collaboration with the world’s most iconic FMCG brands. With this, one of the leading international suppliers of more sustainable packaging solutions has reached a significant sustainability milestone.
By May 2024, DS Smith has replaced more than 1.2 billion pieces of plastic with its packaging solutions internationally, 16 months ahead of the target.
The result is rooted in the 2020 plastic substitution and reduction program established as part of DS Smith’s Now for the Future sustainability strategy, which supports the company’s mission to redefine packaging in a changing world.
DS Smith’s objective extends to its entire operating area, a total of 27 countries across Europe and North America, to achieve the common, circular goal of reducing waste and keeping materials in use for longer. Hungary played a decisive role in this result: more than 34 million pieces of plastic were replaced with fiber-based alternatives thanks to domestic initiatives.
