Global warming from carbon emissions, increasing packaging waste and water shortage are some of the most critical problems faced by the world today. Due to increasing awareness of the adverse environmental impact of household products, consumer preference for sustainable products is increasing. As a result, there has been an increase in products that claim to be environmentally friendly. However, most household products currently in the market still utilize excessive amounts of water during formulation, have a large carbon footprint in shipping and require large packaging that results in excessive waste.
In this webinar, we will present eco-friendly, waterless formulations for dish cleaners, laundry detergents and fabric conditioners that will allow brands to create more sustainable home care products that provide the following benefits:
o conserve water by utilizing anhydrous formats that reduce water demand during manufacturing
o reduce carbon emissions by creating lighter and smaller products, that are easier to store and ship, and therefore, are more suitable for ecommerce
o minimize packaging waste, by creating products that use less packaging, and can be packed using alternatives such as paper
We will demonstrate that it is possible to deliver the high efficacy and performance that home care consumers demand while improving the sustainability profile of formulations.
