Our commitment to sustainable packaging

As a consumer goods company, we have a clear responsibility to play our part. We are among a growing number of brands, retailers and packaging companies to make sustainable packaging commitments.

 But more needs to be done to make reusable, recyclable and compostable plastic normal. And we need your help too!

As well as the “please recycle” logo, every Unilever Food Solutions product also carries clear, on-pack instructions showing how to handle each component of the packaging after use.  There are different actions you can take for each packaging component: re-use it; recycle it; or dispose of it. Each one is clearly denoted with an icon, as described below here.

Look at the label on your package and see what action to take

Our work with operators to promote recycling

Plastic waste is, as we all know, one of the biggest global environmental challenges today. To date, more than 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been created, and most of this has been discarded (source: Science Daily).

If current rates continue, 12 billion tons will be in landfill or the natural environment by 2050. This is unsustainable and requires action.

Collecting and sorting recyclable materials plays an important part in ensuring they can be reused.

Our aim is to promote recycling among operators and, at the same time, raise awareness at government and NGO level. We have a number of projects which encourage people to recycle more and help to make recycling a lifelong habit.
