World News – CA – DS Smith Launches Virus Resistant Packaging

DS Smith, the leading sustainable packaging company, today announced an exclusive partnership with Touchguard to develop a new line of sustainable cardboard packaging to protect consumers from potentially harmful bacteria.

While there is no evidence of cardboard virus transmission, the patented Touchguards technology is effective against a range of bacteria and viruses, including envelope viruses, which include COVID-19. The coating can be applied on a large scale in a number of applications, adding an extra layer of protection to consumers and workers throughout the supply chain.

Recent surveys by DS Smith have shown that retailers and consumers are becoming increasingly interested in hygienic packaging products, especially given the pandemic that has spurred e-commerce across the country and increased demand for shipping cartons.

The product has not yet been tested on COVID-19 cultures at this point, but on feline coronavirus, part of the same virus family as COVID-19, in which the outermost layer and spikes attach to host cells and replicate them. Touchguard breaks the envelope to prevent the virus from replicating and to reduce the risk of person-to-person transmission.

It has a proven kill rate of 99. 5% in less than 15 minutes for types of bacteria and envelope viruses and eliminates the risk of transmission of infections such as MRSA and E from person to person. coli.

While this 100% recyclable technology can never replace best hygiene practices and procedures, it has the potential to provide our customers and their consumers with a real and proven extra layer of protection as packaging moves through the supply chain. This partnership with Touchguard enables us to innovate while ensuring the sustainability of our products, said Melanie Galloway, vice president of sales, marketing and innovation for packaging at DS Smith North America.

DS Smith plans to use the technology in all of its offices in North America and Europe. As more shoppers shop online, this proven technology will further increase consumer confidence in the use of packaging in their homes.

Our partnership with DS Smith gives us the opportunity to bring our patented Touchguard technology to market on a large scale through their sustainable packaging offering. With its production reach across Europe and the USA. S.. . With Julian Dugdale, the inventor and CEO of Touchguard in the UK, we can offer a range of solutions to support changing consumer habits.

The new range promises to support the sustainable packaging market with potential scope in a variety of areas including e-commerce and food packaging, while still being 100% recyclable. The touchguard coating and packaging is certified according to AATCC100 (MOD), ISO18184: 2019 (MOD) and corresponds to the recommendations of BfR36 for materials with food contact.

As part of its recently launched Now and Next sustainability strategy, DS Smith is committed to closing the loop with better design and producing 100% reusable or recyclable packaging by 2023.
