In a recent interview with Wouter van Tol, head of sustainability at packaging maker DS Smith, the conversation revolved around sustainable alternatives to food packaging. With the ban on certain types of food packaging in five states starting on January 1, 2025, the need for eco-friendly solutions is more pressing than ever.

DS Smith, a London-based company, is leading the way in exploring new materials for food packaging, including seaweed-based options. The company’s North American unit has announced a bold initiative to incorporate seaweed-based fiber into its products, aiming to reduce the use of unrecyclable packaging materials.

One of the key challenges discussed in the interview is the difficulty in recycling common forms of fiber packaging, such as cardboard boxes used for e-commerce deliveries. The lack of infrastructure funding has hindered recycling efforts, making it crucial to find sustainable alternatives like seaweed-based materials.

Wouter van Tol also highlighted DS Smith’s efforts to lower greenhouse gas emissions, increase the use of recycled materials, and promote sustainable practices among its employees. The company is working towards encouraging 5 million young people to adopt green, circular behaviors to drive the transition towards a circular economy.

The interview shed light on the importance of aligning corporate sustainability goals with individual actions to create a more sustainable future. By exploring innovative materials like seaweed-based fiber and promoting recycling initiatives, companies like DS Smith are paving the way for a more eco-friendly packaging industry.
