Aicomp, Esko Strengthen Partnership
DS Smith Engages Schoolchildren In Recycling Sustainable packaging company DS Smith has launched a new recycling pilot scheme in the UK to encourage school pupils to look after the planet. The DS Smith Young Recyclers program is partner- ing with five primary schools across Kent, UK, to help children aged 3 to 11 understand the importance of recycling and the circular economy through fun and engaging educational materials. Pupils can get involved in the recycling process by bringing cardboard from home into dedicated collec- tion boxes at their school, where it will be collected weekly to be turned into new packaging papers at DS Smith’s Kemsley paper mill, the largest recovered pa- per mill in the UK.Through an educational visit to the mill, the children also get to experience the science of the recycling process first-hand. The schools initially taking part in the program are Lower Halstow Primary School, Sunnybank Primary School,Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, Thames View Primary School, and Thistle Hill Academy. According to DS Smith, as consumer shopping habits have shifted toward e-commerce, it is vital to make sure cardboard finds its way back into recycling streams.
