DS Smith has greatest positive impact by helping to create a low carbon, circular economy.

In partnership with ENGIE, the coal-fired boiler at Rouen mill is being replaced with a new biomass boiler, which will supply around 80% of the heat demand and is anticipated to be operational by 2025/26.

It is expected that the boiler will be fuelled by around 30% plant by-products (pulper waste) and 70% waste wood from sources such as furniture and demolition waste.

The project was granted approval by the Regional Biomass Scheme in 2022 and is supported by local authorities including a €15 million subsidy from the French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME). It is anticipated that by 2025/26, this will save around 99,000 tonnes CO2e per year.
