Gillette to halve its use of virgin plastic by 2030

Gillette has pledged to halve the use of virgin plastic in its products by 2030.

As part of the company's new sustainability plan, 100% of Gillette's packaging is expected to be recyclable by 2030 and new products with 100% recyclable packaging and featuring handles made from post-consumer recycled content will soon hit the market.

The razors and personal care brand also committed to using 100% renewable purchased electricity, halving greenhouse gas emissions for manufacturing and reducing water consumption by 35% by 2030.

Alessandra Dolfini, Gillette's Global Senior Vice President, said: "From addressing waste to reducing water consumption, Gillette remains committed to our goals in areas that are a priority for our customers, as well as other critical challenges across the supply chain, including reducing emissions, sourcing responsibly and ensuring ingredient transparency across the board."
