DS Smith Highlights Key Role Played by Industrial Packaging Sector

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): European packaging leader DS Smith announced that 2021 will turn out to be a key year for the industrial packaging sector. The increased application of latest technologies coupled with favourable policies towards a circular economy by countries across the globe is likely to boost the demand for sustainable packaging. Industrial packaging plays a key role in transporting and storing goods.

Nowadays, brands are highly focused on reducing the ecological gap. This is mainly driven by increased awareness among consumers about the need to ensure environmental protection and the pressures exerted by regulatory frameworks. The new trends are likely to force use of more recycled, recyclable and reusable products such as corrugated board, laminated cardboard, wooden packaging etc.

The integration of technology has given rise to smart packaging. The industrial level smart packaging techniques allow attaching thermal labels to packaging, to identify whether temperature norms are broken during the transfer or storage. Also, the inclusion of RFID systems using chips and radio signals helps in remote identification of objects.

DS Smith announced its commitment to focus on sustainable, intelligent industrial packaging solutions.
