Case studies

Dettol launches surface cleaner refill

The new Dettol Refill, launched in the UK,  is part of our progress to deliver more sustainable products. The concentrated product kills 99.9% of bacteria and enables consumers to refill their original bottle and trigger packaging, resulting in 75% less plastic*. The refill bottle can also be recycled.

Our ambition is for 50% of our net revenue to come from more sustainable products by 2030 and we’re  over halfway towards achieving our goal. We use our Sustainable Innovation Calculator across all aspects of the product lifecycle to help us identify new opportunities to reduce our use of plastics, carbon and water.
