SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): Packaging leader DS Smith announced its decision to strengthen the partnership with a producer group located on the island of Noirmoutier. The partnership has developed a 100% recyclable corrugated board solution to replace single-use plastic.

La Coopérative Agricole de Noirmoutier- a group of producers of high quality potatoes had contacted DS Smith for replacing plastic bags for wrapping potatoes with alternative sustainable solution.
