UK Paper & Corrugated

This segment is comprised of three businesses:

DS Smith Recycling.

DS Smith Recycling collects circa 1.7 million tonnes of fibre from UK organisations and delivers sustainable waste management solutions.

DS Smith Paper

DS Smith Paper processes the waste paper to produce recycled paper, the majority of which is corrugated case material (CCM) used in the manufacture of corrugated packaging.

DS Smith Packaging

DS Smith Packaging, which converts CCM into corrugated board and boxes.

The three activities of the corrugated packaging supply chain are heavily inter-dependent although all three maintain open-market positions to ensure competitiveness.

Operations

In total, annually it sources 1.7 million tonnes of waste paper by means of collections through its 15 UK recycling facilities. DS Smith Recycling's facilities management function provides integrated recycling and waste disposal services for customers in a number of sectors.
