Becoming Circular

No matter what you make and sell, the first thing customers see is the packaging!

But it’s not only the visual impact that is determined at the design stage but the environmental impact of a product largely is also too. With this in mind, we have collaborated with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation to create Circular Design Principles that help us reshape the future of packaging for a Circular Economy while helping brands stand out positively.

Circular Design Metrics

Cutting-edge tool to drive sustainability of packaging

Following the launch of our Circular Design Principles, we have developed Circular Design Metrics for packaging. With this pioneering tool, we can rate and compare the circularity of packaging designs across 8 different indicators. The Circular Design Metrics – an industry-first – give a clear identification of a packaging design’s sustainability performance, and where to focus attention.

The Circular Design Metrics enables sustainability performance through packaging by:

• Reducing waste and pollution
• Keeping materials and products in use for longer
• Regenerating natural systems

There is no need to compromise between:

• Protecting the product.
• Making the entire supply cycle more efficient
• Boosting environmental performance
• Delivering a better customer experience

Some of our Success Stories in e-commerce  

DS Smith Bulgaria and Ina Essentials

Our main goal was to replace problematic plastic bags to reliable sustainable packaging, to reduce packaging waste, find a cost-effective solution, ensuring a pleasant user experience when unpacking.

We have created a new 100% recyclable e-commerce cosmetic packaging with an adaptable corrugated insert that ensures a 100% efficient packaging process. Depending on the quantity of the online order, the customer can easily pack up to 10 cosmetic products in the package ensuring safe delivery and improved user experience when unpacking

DS Smith Bulgaria and Orange Center

Together we have created smart e-commerce packaging that delights customers

DS Smith has developed new smart packaging with the retail chain Orange Center Bulgaria that can easily be adapted to fit the size, shape, and number of items.

Multichannel services (online and offline) have their specificities. Indeed, selling a large number of items such as books with many different sizes and shapes is a challenge in terms of packaging and delivery. It requires various sizes and models of packaging which undoubtedly increase the cost in the supply chain, storage, unit costs, etc.

Packaging Strategists from DS Smith Bulgaria and Orange Center collaborated to develop smart and innovative e-commerce packaging that could fit various sizes of products. This smart packaging or multi-sized packaging can be adapted to the size, shape, and number of items. The result is multi-size packaging that is ingeniously designed with multiple creases/pre-made scores allowing you to adjust the size.
