DS Smith Launched 100% Recyclable Alternative for Plastic Grocery Bags

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): Leading European packaging major DS Smith plc. announced launch of a new 100% recyclable alternative solution for plastic grocery bags. The ‘Greentote’ bags are the reusable, moisture-resistant, modular and made completely from renewable resources.

Greentote is made of cardboard and can hold thrice the number of groceries than plastic bags. It is coated with DS Smith’s proprietary Greencoat, which makes it durable and moisture-resistant. The Greentote is available in two sizes.

The travel restrictions and safety concerns on account of Covid-19 pandemic has led to spike in online purchase options such as BOPIS (buy online, pick up in-store) and third-party grocery delivery services. The consumption of single-use plastic bags has reported notable jump during the past several months.

As per a recent survey, many shoppers had indicated that they will continue to prefer online purchases, provided the items are delivered in sustainable and recyclable packaging instead of single-use plastic bags. It is under these circumstances that the launch of Greentote becomes important.

Melanie Galloway, vice president of sales, marketing and innovation for DS Smith North America Packaging stated that the Greentote is convenient and sustainable at the same time. It is sturdier than paper and is reusable. Furthermore, it is USDA food-contact safe.
