Indiana students heading to college can get free, recyclable moving boxes, thanks to a “Pack to School” campaign announced by DS Smith, a leading paper and corrugated packaging supplier, and Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS). DS Smith said the box giveaways, manufactured at its central Indiana plant in Lebanon, are part of its global efforts to raise awareness on the need to protect the environment, encourage recycling and support a circular economy that aims to reduce and design out waste.
