P&G is dedicated to continuously reducing the impact of its packaging on the environment - while still ensuring you get the maximum delight out of P&G products. That is why P&G does not wait to be told what to do by legislation.
P&G has a proactive approach to meeting and exceeding consumer, stakeholder and regulatory requirements on packaging materials. And it works with its partners in the industry to make sure joint efforts can reduce environmental impact.
P&G's focus is on reducing the amount of material used in its packaging, using materials which are compatible with recycling streams and maximising the use of recycled carton. P&G also tries to use new materials to reduce the environmental impact of its packages.
Like P&G products, P&G packaging is subjected to thorough environmental impact assessments. P&G is involved in many government initiatives to reduce the impact of packaging, such as the Waste & Resources Action Programme in the UK.
In addition, by creating more compact products P&G has been able to reduce the amount of packaging used, and consequently help the environment. Read on to find out more about P&G's policy on packaging, what P&G has achieved so far and what it intends to do in the future.
