To date, 18 states have enacted legislation to ban plastic bags, and major retailers have joined the Beyond the Bag initiative, a group seeking to identify, test and implement viable design solutions and models that more sustainably serve the purpose of the current retail bag. According to the organizations Beyond Plastics and the Last Beach Cleanup, less than 6 percent of US plastic waste is recycled each year. Of the total volume of all plas- tics produced worldwide since the 1950s, only 9 percent of it has been recycled. DS Smith has replaced 762 million problem plastics with fiber-based alternatives since 2020, and is on pace to beat a goal of one billion plastics replaced by 2025. DS Smith has also created more than 30,000 circular-ready projects for its customers through its industry-leading Cir- cular Design Metrics, a design analysis tool that helps cus- tomers drive sustainability performance.
