22 Oct 2019 --- Beauty industry heavyweight Dove has unveiled new initiatives and impact figures aiming to reduce the use of virgin plastic by more than 20,500 metric tons per year. The Unilever brand intends to reach this benchmark through the integrated use of alternative packaging materials, recycled plastic “where needed” and investing in refill technology. Dove highlights exceptions within its whole portfolio that are not fully 100 percent recycled, with expressed plans to reach the 100 percent benchmark “very soon.”
