Unilever to cut fossil fuels from cleaning brands
Unilever has pledged to drop fossil fuels from its cleaning products by 2030 to reduce carbon emissions. The company's best-selling cleaning brands include Omo, Cif, Sunlight and Domestos. Unilever said the chemicals used in its cleaning and laundry products make up 46% of its overall carbon footprint. Replacing them with more sustainable ingredients will reduce that footprint by up to 20%. The Anglo-Dutch firm, which also makes Dove soap and Persil dishwashing liquid, said it was facing unprecedented demand for cleaning products during the coronavirus pandemic. Unilever said the €1bn investment would go towards funding biotechnology research and creating biodegradable and water-efficient products.
