Procter & Gamble, owners of the Lenor fabric softener and in-wash scent boosters, has announced that in Germany, from September 2023, the entire range of Lenor laundry perfumes, including the Unstoppables variants, will be available in fully recyclable cardboard packaging. The new packaging is made of cardboard from FSC mix-certified forests and recycled materials and is fully recyclable via waste paper. It does have an inner layer of less than 5% plastic, which the company says is to preserve the effectiveness of the scent booster. According to the company, if all German users of Lenor laundry perfume switched to the new cardboard packaging, this would save up to 390 tons of plastic per year. The company also says choosing the right scent is even easier because you can smell the fresh scent through the closed packaging.
Unilever's Dirt Is Good and Robijn brands are introducing laundry detergent sheets in a board box.ThePackHubUnilever's Dirt Is Good Laundry Detergent Sheets in Board-Based Box are Light and Compact
Global consumer goods company Unilever is bringing laundry sheets to the mass market under its Dirt Is Good (Persil in the UK) and Robijn brands. The company says that laundry sheets offer ‘ultra-convenience’. The user doesn’t have to consider whether they’re putting in too much or too little of the product. Each sheet delivers just the right dose of detergent for an optimum clean, avoiding waste through over-dosage. Also, a sheet can be halved (they are perforated down the middle) for lighter loads or a second sheet can be used for larger or more soiled laundry. The sheets are packaged in a recyclable, paper-based box which is compact and lightweight (on average 80% lighter than other formats), which means they also take up less space and are easier to carry, use and store. Robijn’s sheets launched in the Netherlands early this year, while Persil launched exclusively on Amazon in the U.K. in July.
