Investing in a Better Tomorrow
UNITED STATES
$30M Upgrade at Solvay Paper Mill
The 100% recycled paper mill in Solvay, New York recently
completed a $30 million upgrade to its anaerobic wastewater pretreatment and
recycling system.
At the core of the upgrade is a new state of the art internal circulation reactor, which breaks down organic compounds in the mill's wastewater and converts them into
biogas. The upgrade includes new
infrastructure that enables the mill to use the biogas generated onsite as a carbon neutral fuel for its two boilers.
By offsetting natural gas consumption, the mill expects to
avoid approximately 5,000 metric tonnes of fossil fuel related CO₂e emissions annually. The enhanced system also improves effluent quality, reducing the load on
the local wastewater authority.
FRANCE
Achieving Net Zero at Four of Our French Sites
Four of our sites in France completed a series of decarbonization upgrades achieving net zero operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2 emissions). They now serve as a scalable blueprint for decarbonizing our operational footprint and strengthening long-term energy efficiency.
These initiatives are expected to reduce emissions by around 300 tonnes of CO₂ each year while lowering energy consumption
by 230 MWh annually. Across our Dore, Distribution Vin, Nord Emballages and Somica sites, we replaced traditional LPG and fuel powered forklifts with fully electric models. At the Nord Emballages and Somica sheet plants, we replaced outdated gas and fuel oil boilers with modern solutions that combine high efficiency heat pumps and adiabatic cooling systems for efficient year-round temperature control. At the Dore plant, we replaced the diesel woodchip loader with an electric model and removed a small gas boiler previously used for office heating.
GLOBAL
Working with FSC to Strengthen Chain of Custody Standards
Smurfit Westrock partners with FSC International to help strengthen its CoC standards, ensuring they remain fit for today's global packaging value chains. Through participation in FSC's core working group, we share operational expertise and real world insights to support periodic review and the continued development of its standards.
As part of the process, FSC conducted site visits to Smurfit Westrock's Zülpich paper mill and the Rheinwelle converting site in Germany to see
how recycled paper is transformed into finished packaging and how certification requirements operate in
practice. This included how traceability, segregation and labeling systems function across mill to conversion.

Innovating for Our Customers
Protecting the Planet
A Recyclable Solution for Sustainable Pollination
Growers under pressure to balance productivity, compliance and sustainability needed a recyclable alternative to the pollination bee hives used to grow crops. Smurfit Westrock
collaborated with Koppert in the Czech Republic to offer a durable corrugated alternative without sacrificing field performance. This new development, Natupol Terra, is free from single-use plastic components and intentionally added plastics.
Early trials with berry growers confirm that Natupol Terra delivers the same pollination performance as existing hive solutions while significantly increasing sustainability and recyclability. The innovation won Gold at the Czech & Slovak Packaging Awards (Obal roka 2025).
By applying our packaging engineering, materials expertise and customer collaboration model, Smurfit Westrock is helping growers transition to recyclable solutions that align operational performance with sustainability goals, delivering value across the agricultural supply chain.
Cutting Plastic Use by 98% with Gourmet Food Packaging
Embutidos de El Salvador's gourmet brand KREEF needed packaging that could handle premium meats, cheeses and platters. This was achieved without relying on layers of wax paper, inserts and polystyrene trays, all of which increased costs and hindered recyclability.
We created a custom design built from Optima board, a high-strength fiber material engineered for resistance to grease, moisture and refrigeration. By optimizing materials and consolidating the pack into a single, efficient design using our SupplySmart model, the new packaging reduced plastic by 98%. It also reduced assembly time by 68% and
significantly lowered production costs, aligning with KREEF's sustainability goals and operational efficiency targets.
The project reflects our Better Planet Packaging vision of using renewable, recyclable materials and thoughtful design to reduce waste while strengthening KREEF's brand identity.

COLOMBIA
From Waste to Resources
The Barranquilla mill in Colombia achieved significant progress in environmental management as the waste to landfill indicator decreased to just 86 tons from 425 tons in 2024, an 80% reduction. Additionally, we strengthened our contingency strategy by securing alternative providers capable of treating these
materials in the event of any disruption.
When analyzing overall waste management at the mill, the plant generated 3,306 tons of non-hazardous waste, of which 97% was recovered. This achievement
was made possible through close
collaboration with our partner, Veolia, and prioritizing the recovery of process rejects generated at the plant. Veolia's facilities combine the mill's non-hazardous waste with sludge from the hydrocarbon industry to make Refuse-Derived Fuel ('RDF')
that is then used in cement kilns.
We conducted trials with the city's public utility service provider to enable its service to be an alternative recovery pathway in case there is any interruption in our current service. The mill plans to continue to optimize processes for the remaining waste to further advance operational sustainability.
Early operational results already demonstrate significant improvements in effluent quality. On an annual basis, total suspended solids were reduced by approximately 25%. Chemical oxygen demand should also decrease in the coming years.

Golf Pride partnered with NBA Player Stephen Curry's UNDERRATED tour to launch a limited edition golf grip kit in the U.S. celebrating inclusion and emerging talent in the sport.
Smurfit Westrock supported the collaboration
by developing a premium packaging solution that balanced brand expression with responsible material use.
Our luxury packaging team designed a keepsake rigid box with a premium finish that minimizes the use of plastic components and uses renewable, recyclable materials. The tri-fold packaging design creates a layered unboxing experience that builds anticipation and provides sequential storytelling.
This was Golf Pride's first attempt at specialty packaging, and it won two 2025 PAC Global Awards in the categories of Inclusivity and Brand Marketing-Specialty. The product and collab launch generated over 4.5 million social media views and highlights how the power of thoughtful packaging design can advance brand recognition and still achieve sustainability.
Support Sustainable Farming
Smurfit Westrock's Stevenson, Alabama pulp and paper mill in the U.S. plays an important role in sustainable agriculture. The facility's manufacturing byproducts are well suited for recycling and reuse as agricultural soil amendments. With appropriate processing and application, these materials enhance soil quality by contributing nutrient-rich organic matter, improving soil structure, increasing water retention and facilitating pH balance.
supporting the agricultural community. Because the facility operates year-round, farmers have access to a consistent, local source of organic material. This reduces transportation distances and costs, as well as their dependence on seasonal compost or manure availability.
The Stevenson mill also applies wastewater treatment residuals to Company owned land, which makes the fields fertile for use in growing crops. Smurfit Westrock leases that land to a local farmer who uses it to cultivate soybeans or corn used for cattle feed.

Growing Sustainability in Our Communities
In 2025, Smurfit Westrock proudly supported TICCIT (Trees Into Cartons, Cartons Into Trees), a hands-on program developed by the Paperboard Packaging Council to teach elementary students about the sustainability of trees, paper and recycling. The program gives children a tangible way to understand that trees are a renewable resource, and highlights the many ways paperboard products are used in everyday life.
During interactive classroom sessions, volunteers led discussions and demonstrations on responsible forestry, the lifecycle of paperboard and the importance of recycling. Each student received a pine seedling in a Smurfit
Westrock carton donated by our facilities. The carton protects the young seedling, funnels water directly to its roots and eventually breaks down as the tree grows. This hands-on activity extends learning beyond the classroom, sparking conversations about sustainability with family members and giving students a direct role in caring for the environment.
In total, TICCIT reached over 60 schools across the U.S. and abroad in 2025, planting more than 10,000 trees. By combining education with
action, Smurfit Westrock empowered students to see the real world impact of sustainable practices and fostered a sense of environmental stewardship that we hope will grow alongside the seedlings they planted.
