DS Smith's offers comprehensive waste management and recycling solutions tailored specifically for the public sector. With a commitment to sustainability and circularity, DS Smith processes over 5 million tonnes of material annually, including paper, cardboard, plastics, and organics.
DS Smith’s fibre-loop recycling model ensures that recyclable materials are processed and turned into new packaging products—many within just 14 days. By keeping materials in use for as long as possible and minimising waste, DS Smith helps its partners reduce environmental impact, improve transparency, and support the transition to a circular economy.
DS Smith's public sector services are designed to be both cost-effective and fully adaptable to local needs. The company works closely with councils and government bodies to provide tailored recycling strategies that align with specific targets, regulatory obligations, and sustainability goals. Services include everything from the collection and processing of materials to the delivery of detailed reporting and education to improve recycling performance and reduce contamination.
A dedicated team of account managers supports each public sector partner throughout the process, providing expertise and innovation to enhance operational efficiency and drive continuous improvement. DS Smith knows that local authorities have to work with tight budgets and demanding recycling targets. That’s why they take a partnership approach with local authorities, managing risk and taking the worry of meeting your recycling and waste management responsibilities and targets away from you.
By focusing on long-term collaboration and sustainable practices, DS Smith helps public sector organisations meet their environmental commitments and contribute meaningfully to a more sustainable future.
