Sustainability:
We will grow our business profitably, responsibly and safely while protecting the environment, making wise use of our natural resources, and giving back to our communities.
Products and Services
Our sustainably run mills offer employment and economic stimulus to multiple depressed areas of the country.
Our packaging consultants and designers can help you meet standards like the Wal-Mart scorecard, and produce the constant improvements that they look for year after year.
Smurfit-Stone’s knowledge of the system can be helpful to our customers to not only meet the Wal-Mart requirements but also be pro-active in improving their scores. Our consulting group and audits provide the tools and identify the opportunities through design, material optimization or automation to easily meet the 5% material reduction goal so that sustainability isn’t just a piece of your image, but an integral factor in your profitability.
Our Image Pac division uses business intelligence to support knowledge-based creative solutions. So when intelligence shows a need for educating consumers, we design for it, whether we build in holders for third party literature, or simply print key messages on container boxes.
Operating in regions of rapid economic development and growth throughout Asia, our Global Packaging Solutions team is reminded daily of the many stark realities our employees and partners in Asia face as they help us grow our business. When crises strike, we stand behind our staff and their families with whatever assistance we can feasibly offer. And we employ inspectors who regularly audit operations to ensure compliance with international labor standards.
The Recycling Group focuses on organizing recycling efforts to achieve maximum efficiency with minimum waste. By getting more material into the recycling stream, we make recycling pay for you.

Handling over seven million tons of fiber per year, Smurfit-Stone’s Recycling Group is leading the industry in increasing the amount of fiber that goes back into the stream.
