Nieuwe fles Head & Shoulders gemaakt van op strand aangespoeld plastic

Procter & Gamble gaat een nieuwe fles van Head & Shoulders produceren die deels gemaakt zal worden van plastic dat op het strand is aangespoeld. Daarnaast is de fles ook volledig recycleerbaar.

Verdubbeling gebruik gerecycleerd plastic

De nieuwe fles zal deze zomer verkrijgbaar zijn bij Carrefour in Frankrijk. Volgens P&G is het de eerste keer dat een fles met aangespoeld kunststof op zo’n grote schaal wordt geproduceerd. “We hadden het gevoel dat het grootste shampoomerk ook de leiding moest nemen op vlak van innovatie en duurzaamheid en we weten ook dat als we dit doen, we de hele industrie aanmoedigen om hetzelfde te doen”, zegt vicepresident Lisa Jennings.  

De nieuwe flacon

De nieuwe fles gemaakt, in samenwerking met TerraCycle en SUEZ, maakt deel uit van het doel van Procter & Gamble om tegen 2020 het gebruik van gerecycleerd plastic in verpakkingen te verdubbelen. Tegen het einde van 2018 moeten meer dan een half miljard flessen per jaar minstens 25% gerecycleerd plastic bevatten. Bron: www.retaildetail.nl

宝洁上调全年销售目标,达沃斯上宣布采用塑料垃圾制作海飞丝新包装

今年夏天,海飞丝将与法国零售商家乐福合作,推出黑色瓶装的洗发水。该创新洗发水瓶身由美国废物回收公司 TerraCycle和法国公用事业公司 Suez 联合生产。制作这种洗发水瓶的部分原材料来自由志愿者和公益组织在海滩上人工收集的塑料垃圾。宝洁公司计划到 2018年年底,护发品牌使用再生塑料瓶的比例将达到 90%以上,包括潘婷(Pantene)和海飞丝。该项目每年将回收使用 2600吨再生塑料,其重量相当于八架满载的波音747超大型喷气式飞机。

First fully recyclable shampoo bottle made with beach plastic points to new plastics economy

P&G partners with TerraCycle and Europe’s waste management leader to ensure a reliable source of post-consumer recycled plastic—collected from beaches around the world—for bottles of Head & Shoulders shampoo.   A recent report released by the World Economic Forum and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in the U.K. found that most plastic packaging is used only once; 95% of the value of plastic packaging material, worth $80 to $120 billion annually, is lost to the economy after a short first use. And of the more than 300 million tons of new, virgin plastic produced globally per year, it is estimated that up to 129 million tons (43%) of the plastic used is disposed of in landfills, incurring an avoidable degree of structural loss. Smart companies see it as good business to harness those resources and roll out sustainability initiatives by making a commitment to putting out products made from non-virgin raw material, creating circular systems that can be nurtured and expanded for growth. For example, Procter & Gamble just announced at the World Economic Forum in Davos that it has teamed up with us at TerraCycle and Suez, the largest waste management company in Europe, to source, develop and put out the first fully recyclable shampoo bottle made from up to 25% beach plastic for the world’s #1 shampoo brand, Head & Shoulders. The first 150,000 bottles will be available in France this summer, making it the world’s largest production run of recyclable shampoo bottles made with beach plastic. Working directly with hundreds of NGOs and other beach cleanup organizations, TerraCycle sources the shipments of rigid plastics collected through beach cleanup efforts, capturing these materials for recycling for the first time, at no cost to participants. After logistics (collection and shipment) and processing (separation and material pelletization) of these mixed plastics, they can be used as recycled raw material.
This project focuses on the goal of incorporating more post-consumer recycled content (as P&G has for more than 25 years, last year using 34,000 metric tons) across other P&G brands; P&G Hair Care is projected to see half a billion bottles per year include 25% PCR by the end of 2018. P&G, using the program created by TerraCycle and Suez as a sourcing method, not only creates a market for recycled plastics, but a sustainable supply chain designed to feed back into itself. In the design of a “New Plastics Economy,” which challenges institutions to move away from the existing linear, take-make-dispose economy, theoretically, these plastics can then be recycled again to be used over and over. The volume of the world’s plastic packaging that gets recycled is in direct correlation to the scale of the recycled plastics market. Since producing new, virgin plastic is currently less costly than purchasing recycled materials on back-end channels, putting forth the resources to divert plastics from landfills and create a market for them is not always top of mind.
But as innovations in plastic packaging technologies continue to advance, it is beneficial that material flow solutions for a more effective plastics system develop at a comparable pace. Building momentum towards a more circular economy is up to manufacturers and brands creating and expanding the market for recycled plastics by purchasing recycled materials to make their products, selling them to consumers and making the product easily recyclable.

P&G to make world’s 1st recycled shampoo bottle

The Procter & Gamble Co. yesterday announced that Head & Shoulders (H&S), the world’s top shampoo brand, will produce the world’s first recyclable shampoo bottle made from up to 25 percent recycled beach plastic. In partnership with recycling experts TerraCycle and SUEZ, this innovation will come to France this summer as a limited-edition H&S bottle available to consumers in Carrefour, one of the world’s leading retailers. This will be the world’s largest production run of recyclable bottles made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) beach plastic, and a first major step in establishing a unique supply chain that involves the support of thousands of volunteers and hundreds of NGOs collecting plastic waste found on beaches. “We felt that the leading shampoo brand in sales should lead in sustainability innovation and know that when we do this, it encourages the entire industry to do the same,” said Lisa Jennings, vice president, Head & Shoulders and Global Hair Care Sustainability Leader, Procter & Gamble. “We’ve been fortunate to work with such great partners in TerraCycle and SUEZ to make this vision a reality,” she said. Additionally, P&G said that in Europe by end of 2018 more than half a billion bottles per year will include up to 25 percent post-consumer recycled plastic. This represents more than 90 percent of all the hair care bottles sold in Europe across P&G’s hair care portfolio of flagship brands like Pantene and Head & Shoulders. The project will require a supply of 2,600 tons of recycled plastic every year — the same weight as eight fully loaded Boeing 747 jumbo jets. P&G has been using PCR plastic in packaging for over 25 years, and yesterday’s announcement is an important step in the company’s journey to meet their Corporate 2020 goal of doubling the tonnage of PCR plastic used in packaging. According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF),  95 percent of the value of plastic packaging material, worth $80 to 120 billion annually, is lost to the economy and on the current track, there could be more plastics than fish in the ocean (by weight) by 20501. “At P&G, we believe that actions speak louder than words. The increased use of PCR plastic across our hair care portfolio of brands, demonstrate our continued commitment to driving real change,” said Virginie Helias, vice president of Global Sustainability, P&G. “The Head & Shoulders recyclable shampoo bottle made with beach plastic is a world’s first in the hair care category. Increasing the use of recycled plastic in the packaging of our flagship brands, like Pantene and Head & Shoulders, makes it easier for consumers to choose more sustainable products, without any trade-offs. So while we’re proud of what we’ve done and what we’re doing, we know there is much more work ahead.” “This partnership represents an important step for TerraCycle. We are proud to be working with one of the world’s largest brands to create a breakthrough product. Creating the world’s first recyclable shampoo bottle with beach plastics is a start of an important journey. With the circular economy gaining more traction, we hope that other global brands will work with green suppliers and use their influence to drive change for the benefit of the environment,” said Tom Szaky, CEO, TerraCycle. “This partnership between SUEZ, TerraCycle and P&G represents an exciting step in the creation of a world first for consumers, a recyclable shampoo bottle made of beach plastics. We hope that other organizations will continue to partner with different providers in order to deliver major environmental changes in this industry and hopefully across other industries too. With nine dedicated plastic facilities across Europe, Suez is already producing 170,000 tons of high quality recycled polymers,” Jean-Marc Boursier, Group senior executive VP in charge of Recycling & Recovery Europe, SUEZ.

H&S creará la primera botella reciclabe de champú a base de plástico recogido en playas

La marca H&S de Procter&Gamble producirá la primera botella de champú creada con hasta un 25% de plástico reciclado recogido en playas.

En colaboración con los expertos en reciclaje TerraCycle y SUEX, esta innovadora botella llegará a Francia este verano en forma de edición limitada de una botella de H&S disponible para los consumidores en Carrefour.

Según la compañía, estamos ante la producción más grande de botellas recicladas a partir de plástico reciclado (PCR) recogido en playas a nivel mundial. Por ello, se trata de un primer gran paso en el establecimiento de una cadena de suministro única que incluye el apoyo de miles de voluntarios y cientos de ONGs recogiendo desechos de plástico encontrados en las playas.

“Pensamos que la marca de champú líder en ventas debería liderar la innovación sostenible, sabiendo que al hacerlo anima al resto de la industria a hacer lo mismo”, afirmó Lisa Jennings, vicepresidenta y líder de sostenibilidad de H&S y cuidado capilar global en Procter & Gamble. Mientras, Virginie Helias, vicepresidenta de Sostenibilidad de P&G señalaba: “En P&G creemos que las acciones hablán más alto que las palabras. El incremento del uso de PCS en nuestro portfolio de cuidado capilar demuestra nuestro continuado compromiso hacia uun cambio real".

P&G ha anunciado que para finales de 2018, en Europa más de medio billón de botellas al año incluirán hasta un 25% de plástico reciclado. La compañía lleva usando plástico PCR en sus envases desde hace 25 años y este nuevo anuncio es un paso importante para su objetivo corporativo de doblar el tonelaje de plástico PCR utilizado en los envases en 2020.

P&G crea la primera botella reciclable de champú en el mundo

P&G ha anunciado que para finales de 2018 más de 500 millones de envases en Europa incluirán hasta un 25% de plástico reciclado posconsumo. Esto representa el 90% de todas las botellas de productos para el cuidado del cabello que la compañía vende cada año en Europa, de marcas insignia como Pantene y Head & Shoulders (H&S).

La compañía multinacional Procter & Gamble ha anunciado que su marca de champú Head & Shoulders (H&S) producirá la primera botella de champú del mundo fabricada con plástico reciclado recogido en las playas. Concretamente, estos nuevos envases incluirán un 25% de material reciclado.

En colaboración con las empresas TerraCycle y SUEZ, esta innovación llegará a Francia este verano como una botella de edición limitada a disposición de los consumidores de la cadena minorista Carrefour.

Esta será la producción más grande del mundo de botellas reciclables hechas con plástico posconsumo reciclado (PCR) de playa y un primer paso importante en el establecimiento de una cadena de suministro única que implica el apoyo de miles de voluntarios y cientos de ONG en las playas.

“Fuimos conscientes de que la principal marca de champú en ventas tenía que liderar la innovación en sostenibilidad y animar así a toda la industria a hacer lo mismo”, dijo Lisa Jennings, vicepresidenta de Head & Shoulders.

Además, P&G ha anunciado que para finales de 2018 más de 500 millones de envases en Europa incluirán hasta un 25% de plástico reciclado posconsumo. El proyecto requerirá un suministro de 2.600 toneladas anuales de plástico reciclado. P&G ha utilizado el plástico reciclado en envases desde hace más de 25 años, y el anuncio es un paso importante de la compañía para cumplir su objetivo para 2020 de duplicar el tonelaje de plástico posconsumo reciclado utilizado en los envases.

Según la Fundación Ellen MacArthur, el 95% del valor del material de envases plásticos, que oscila entre 80.000 y 120.000 millones de dólares anuales, se pierde como residuo, y al ritmo actual, en 2050 podría haber más plástico que peces en el océano.

“La botella de champú reciclable Head & Shoulders fabricada con plástico de playa es la primera del mundo en la categoría de cuidado del cabello. Aumentar el uso de plástico reciclado en los envases de nuestras marcas insignia, como Pantene y Head & Shoulders, facilita a los consumidores poder elegir productos más sostenibles, sin concesiones”, dijo Virginie Helias, vicepresidenta de Sostenibilidad Global de P&G

“Estamos orgullosos de trabajar con una de las marcas más grandes del mundo para crear un producto innovador”, dijo Tom Szaky, CEO de TerraCycle. “Con la economía circular ganando más atracción, esperamos que otras marcas globales trabajen con proveedores verdes y usen su influencia para impulsar el cambio en beneficio del medio ambiente”, concluyó.

Por su parte, Jean-Marc Boursier, vicepresidente ejecutivo senior de SUEZ, recordó que “con nueve instalaciones dedicadas de plástico en toda Europa, Suez ya produce 170.000 toneladas de polímeros reciclados de alta calidad”.
