25 Aug 2022 --- DS Smith is trialing a range of new materials, including fibers sourced from agricultural waste, to determine new methods of reducing water loss and production emissions. The trials fall under the company’s £100 million (US$118 million) investment package for circular economy strategies. The program will look at the fiber potential and plastic replacement capabilities of several materials to diversify the range of sources it uses for packaging. New materials include daisies, straw, hemp, cocoa shells and seaweed.
