DS Smith and Jonsac partnered to drive sustainable e-commerce packaging

Collaboration aims to accelerate the shift away from plastic packaging and towards sustainable alternatives within the European e-commerce market

DS Smith, a leading provider of packaging solutions, has unveiled a new collaboration with Jonsac, a Swedish manufacturer specializing in sustainable e-commerce bags. The primary objective of this partnership is to expedite the transition from plastic packaging to eco-friendly paper alternatives within the European e-commerce sector. This venture builds upon an existing partnership between the two entities, where Jonsac previously supplied paper bag solutions to DS Smith customers in the Nordic region. Now, the collaboration aims to make Jonsac’s 100% recyclable, FSC-certified paper bags accessible across all DS Smith markets in Europe.

This strategic move addresses the escalating demand for sustainable e-commerce packaging solutions. DS Smith and Jonsac have affirmed their commitment to jointly develop a diverse product range that not only fulfills current customer demands but also anticipates future trends and market needs. Customers stand to benefit from the option to order these paper bags in bulk to support their e-commerce operations. This partnership is in line with DS Smith's overarching mission of "Redefining Packaging for a Changing World" and its sustainability strategy, "Now & Next," which underscores the attainment of dedicated sustainability objectives and the promotion of a circular economy within the packaging industry.
