PCRRG member and paper cup recycler DS Smith wins at Awards for Excellence in Recycling & Waste Management 2018

In an exclusive award ceremony in Landmark Hotel in London, the annual awards event run by Letsrecycle.com saw some of the leading recyclers, businesses, councils, and community organisations come together to hear the much-anticipated results. This year’s nominated organisations fought for one of the 16 different category awards, but it was DS Smith who came out on top in the Paper Recycler category.
The award recognises the paper recycling company that demonstrates good practice, prioritises care of its customers, provides consistent services, and can provide evidence of high recycling rates. As reported at the event supporting their successes was the coffee cup recycling initiative announced earlier this year. Following successful trials carried out at their Kemsley paper mill near Sittingbourne in Kent, the largest recycled paper mill in the UK, DS Smith announced it could recycle up to 2.5 billion coffee cups annually – the estimated amount used in the UK every year.
