As part of our mission to tackle plastic pollution that affects the global environment, Unilever is committed to reduce the use of virgin plastics and accelerate the use of recycled plastic by 2025.
“Our goal is to make packaging more environmentally friendly, while remaining our usability, food safety and consumer-friendly standards.” Mike Ross, Unilever's senior packaging manager.
In the past, although we have seen the public and private sectors increasing the awareness of plastic waste problem and environmental protection. In reality, the plastic pollution crisis is expected to grow exponentially. From today until 2040, industries and businesses will see double the production of new non-degradable plastic and four times the amount of plastic waste in the oceans!
Unilever, as a company with social responsibility, we want to be a part of solving the problems the world is facing. Therefore, we have a serious policy to reduce the problem of plastic waste by minimizing the use of new plastic and use more of the existing recycled plastic. This will make the plastic used as a 'resource' rather than a 'waste'.
