Greentote is available in two sizes and can hold more than three times the number of groceries than plastic bags. Its interlock design ensures safety and convenience when transporting.

DS Smith North America Packaging sales, marketing and innovation vice-president Melanie Galloway said: “Greentote is about convenience and sustainability.

“From staging orders to curbside pickup or delivery, our sustainable, renewable, fibre-based tote is sturdier than paper, keeps perishable and other grocery items organised and safe, and is reusable.

“Corrugated is the safest medium for transporting goods in our global supply chain, and Greentote takes that confidence one step further by being USDA food-contact safe.”
