Detergent And Cosmetics Packaging Made Entirely of RecyclateHENKEL: Detergent and cosmetics packaging made entirely of recyclate / Social Plastic rPET in collaboration with Plastic Bank

Consumer goods group Henkel is proceeding to the next phase in its cooperation with social enterprise Plastic Bank. The companys Laundry and Home Care as well as Beauty Care business units will soon be launching detergents, cleaning agents and cosmetic products in bottles made of 100% recycled materials up to 50% of which contains Plastic Banks Social Plastic. This latter material is recyclate made from Plastic Bank collections in Haiti and forms part of the initiative launched in 2017 to combat marine litter and poverty in countries with insufficient waste management infrastructure see Plasteurope.com of 23.11.2017. With Henkels support, Plastic Bank has so far been able to open three more plastic collection centres in Haiti. The local population can hand in plastics waste and receive money, goods or services in exchange.

Following successful pilot projects, the German group in summer 2019 will be supplying its Pro Nature cleaning agents Biff, Pril and Sidolin as well as its Vernel Fresh Control fabric softener in containers made of 100% rPET, 25% of which is Social Plastic. There will also be two special editions of shampoo and shower gel as of June 2019 the bottles for Nature Box Meeres Glück and Fa Meeres Liebe will likewise be in 100% rPET containing a 50% share of Social Plastic.
