DS Smith is also working with Versuni to replace sin- gle-use protection buffers (EDF) plastics inside the pack- aging with sustainable fiber-based packaging alternatives. This is a step forward in fulfilling Versuni’s commitment to deliver 100 percent plastic free packaging within the next four years. “Our purpose as a business is to Redefine Packaging for a Changing World and we can only do this in partner- ship, so it is enormously encouraging to see a company such as Versuni proactively work with us towards a more circular economy,” said Wouter van Tol, Head of Sustain- ability, DS Smith. “We have partnered with Versuni at all levels of the de- sign and production process to replace plastics and opti- mize sustainable supply chain processes. Our pioneering Circular Design Metrics tool created in collaboration with the Ellen McArthur Foundation was an essential driver for the innovative solutions we have achieved together.” Additional sustainable measures that are being intro- duced include reducing the outer printed area of the pack- aging box, resulting in a 65 percent reduction in ink usage. By focusing on space optimization and minimizing empty areas in each product box, the dimensions of the sustain- able packaging are also being reduced. Traditional pa- per-based instruction guides within the box are also being replaced with scannable QR-codes printed on the product packaging. Safety instructions, warranty information, and simplified start up guides will remain available in the box.
