30 May 2024 --- DS Smith has replaced more than one billion pieces of plastic in partnership with major FMCG brands. Plastic items that have been replaced include fruit and vegetable punnets, plastic carriers and shrink-wrap on soft drink bottles. “It is important to note that if our customers — the biggest FMCG brands — are to remove plastics at scale and pace, they need the right regulatory framework around them. What we need are stronger, harmonized, global regulations that level the playing field to help businesses move away from plastic,” says Miles Roberts, group chief executive at DS Smith.
