SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): The DS Smith team at Kemsley Mill announced new initiative aimed at enhancing the environment around the mill.

The initiative looks at reusing old safety boots to transform them into birdhouses. The safety boots donated by the DS Smith team were transformed into birdhouses, which were installed at the outer edge of the mill, ahead of the nesting season in March. The donated boots were also handed over to Milton Creek Country Park, to be turned into birdhouses.
