02 Sep 2020 --- Unilever has revealed plans to transfer 100 percent of the carbon derived from fossil fuels in its cleaning and laundry product formulations to renewable or recycled carbon. The transition away from fossil fuel-derived chemicals in product formulations aims to “fundamentally change” the way that Unilever’s cleaning and laundry brands are created, manufactured and packaged. Target products in question include Omo (Persil), Sunlight, Cif and Domestos. Moreover, Unilever has set aside €1 billion (US$1,185 billion) to finance biotechnology research, low carbon chemistry, as well as CO2 and waste utilization.
