DS Smith has announced a supplier agreement with Jonsac, a Swedish company that produces e-commerce bags from FSC-certified wooden raw materials.
The partnership will see the two companies collaborate with the aim of accelerating the transition from plastic to paper bags within the e-commerce marketplace in Europe at scale.
DS Smith added that the bags will be 100% fibre-based and recyclable, and customers will be able to order consignments at high-volume in support of e-commerce activities.
The new agreement represents an addition to an existing arrangement where Jonsac supply paper bag packaging solutions to DS Smith customers within the Nordics region.
Marc Chiron, sales, marketing and innovation director at DS Smith, said, “We are thrilled to be building on our existing relationship with Jonsac. Jonsac is a trusted supplier and the team there share our common plastic reduction goals. We have proven that we can work together in the Nordics, and we are looking forward to extending this offering across Europe. This activity is in line with our commitment to the circular economy.”
Torbjörn Rodhe, CEO at Jonsac, added, “We are delighted to be collaborating with DS Smith for the benefit of the current and the next generation of e-commerce customers. They work with a wide range of customers across all sectors, and this collaboration is ideal for our product solutions and offering.”
