We are looking for highly motivated, emotionally intelligent, hardworking, articulate communicators like you to help us achieve our growth aspirations.

What is Recycling?

Our Recycling Division enables DS Smith to capture paper and card for recycling in our UK, European and US paper mills. It is a division that enables our fully integrated closed loop business model of producing fibre-based packaging and recycling it back in to new packaging through our recycling depots, paper mills and packaging plants.

Our Strategy & Innovation Team sits at the heart of this division, and drives our sustainability, circularity and operational excellence agenda for the whole division.
