The planet is in crisis and we must take decisive action to stop the damage and restore its health. In 2019, Unilever set out a plan to tackle perhaps the most visible environmental problem we have in the FMCG industry: plastic packaging. The company set new and challenging targets that include halving the use of virgin plastic and helping to collect and process more plastic packaging than it sells.
