Plastics & packaging

Plastics and packaging waste

Plastic and packaging waste is one of the world’s most urgent environmental issues. It’s also a priority for us – which is why we’re aiming to use less packaging and more responsible materials, which contain recycled content, and are recyclable or even reusable.

We’ve already made good progress, but we know that to achieve our targets, we’ll need to work with others. That’s why we’re strengthening our global, cross-sector commitments and working with our suppliers to develop innovative packaging with less impact on the planet.

Reuse packaging - powder to liquid hand wash

Last year, we launched a new Dettol powder to liquid hand wash that enables consumers to reuse their existing bottle and soap pump. By simply adding a sachet of powder to water, the consumer can create a hand wash with the same renowned germ protection.
