The UK Paper and Corrugated Packaging segment comprises three businesses: Severnside Recycling, which collects waste paper and other materials for recycling; St Regis, which processes the waste paper to produce recycled paper, and DS Smith Packaging, which converts corrugated case material into corrugated board and boxes. The Continental European Corrugated Packaging segment is engaged in heavy-duty industrial and litho-laminated packaging.
