The Joy of Creativity 

Innovation, fun, creativity and play have been brought to the fore time and time again using our corrugated cardboard. We have seen how our teams have demonstrated their ingenuity working with cardboard in new, fun, practical and innovative ways to support their communities.

Smurfit Kappa Baltic continues to support the local arts and theatre community in Lithuania with regular donations of corrugated chairs to arts venues. After noticing Smurfit Kappa’s sustainable chairs at an arts event, Aura Dance Theatre approached the company for help in providing seats that could be more easily transported than plastic chairs, allowing them to bring their shows to local communities.
