13 Sep 2019 --- As momentum for single-use plastics alternatives increases, Henkel’s venturing arm Henkel Ventures is the lead investor in a US$5million investment round in US-based cleaning products company Truman’s. A six-month-old direct-to-customer start-up, Truman’s offers hard-surface cleaners that use reusable bottles and concentrate cartridges to reduce plastic. With the EU single-use plastic ban approaching in 2021, many companies in the packaging industry are anticipating future obstacles and are already adapting their production cycles accordingly.
