DS Smith planting more than 50,000 new trees across Europe and North America

We’re partnering with One Tree Planted to plant more than 50,000 new trees across Europe and North America over the next five years as part of our commitment to protecting biodiversity and supporting the natural environment.

This partnership is a new addition to the existing forestry and tree planting activity across our company. We’re committed to protect forests and enhance biodiversity wherever we operate by 2025.

Through the DS Smith Charitable Foundation, we agreed to fund a tree for each of our 29,000 employees this year.

The first wave of 15,000 trees will be planted in forests in Western Jutland, Denmark and in the Nucsoara commune of Argeș County, Romania. The remaining 14,000 trees for this year have been earmarked for other planting initiatives in Europe and North America.

Diana Chaplin, Canopy Director at One Tree Planted – “We’re proud to work with partners dedicated to taking real action for the environment. These reforestation efforts will help to further DS Smith’s dedication to sustainability, mitigating the effects of climate change while restoring the land for biodiversity and the long-term health of forests.”

Tetra Pak unveils recycling collaborations and investments ahead of Earth Day

In the run up to the Earth Day (22nd April), Tetra Pak is highlighting some of its recent recycling initiatives that are helping to keep valuable materials in use and out of landfills. These initiatives are part of the investments that the company has been making for decades, to support collection and recycling infrastructure across the world, growing the number of recycling operations handling cartons worldwide from 40 in 2010 to more than 200 today. According to the World Bank, global waste is predicted to increase 70% by 20501, unless immediate and significant action is taken. Despite its essential role in feeding a growing global population, food packaging can add to the issue if not properly collected and recycled. Tetra Pak’s recent collaborations are focused on creating additional recycling capacity, increasing collection rates and ensuring that materials from post-consumer beverage cartons can re-enter the economy.
