Products and Services
Smurfit-Stone produced a wide selection of paper-based packaging products (many of which were "environmentally sustainable"), including corrugated boxes and protective packaging, corrugated pallets, containerboard, kraft paper, market pulp, packaging equipment, and point of purchase displays.
A few examples of Smurfit-Stone’s environmentally sustainable packaging were:
-The eight-sided META case, which provided corrugated packaging that utilizes less material while offering improved stacking strength, stronger shelf impact, and other benefits.
-The EnviroShell, which serves as a recyclable, corrugated alternative to traditional blister packs and includes easily separated and recycled PET inserts. These inserts help lead to EnviroShell’s 89 percent reduction in plastic use compared to the traditional blister packs.
-RecyclaCorr was a fully recyclable product that offered a replacement to wax imbued mediums. It provided strength under both dry and humid conditions and has 100% recycled fiber content. Some common applications of RecyclaCorr included packaging produce, protein, beverages, bakery products, products that sustain freeze/ thaw cycles, and products requiring high humidity storage.
Smurfit-Stone also provided paper and packaging-related services, which included recycling solutions, packaging research and development, and pulp and paper services.

Famous quotes containing the words products and/or services:
“It seemed there was a sort of poisoning, an auto-infection of the organisms, so Dr. Krokowski said; it was caused by the disintegration of a substance ... and the products of this disintegration operated like an intoxicant upon the nerve-centres of the spinal cord, with an effect similar to that of certain poisons, such as morphia, or cocaine.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
