October 2022 brief extended to cover more local communities to contribute towards Sustainability. Climate change causes changes in forests, their ecological functions and ecosystem services. SDG 13 aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change and drive adaptation actions. Hope COP27 of the year will recognise the necessity of the simple solutions and inclusion of everyone in climatic problems just like you can start this journey by a simple step – planting a tree around us. The effect that would have on global warming is unimaginably positive.
Unilever is seeking novel methods to recover and improve the recyclability of the plastic actuator. This is the device at the top of a aerosol packaging that when depressed, allows the product to be sprayed. It’s also commonly called a sprayer or button. Actuators are designed to make them difficult to remove for safety reasons, but when actuators aren’t removed prior to recycling, they end up in the metal recycling process and may not be recovered. They are also small and often made from multiple materials which further complicates recyclability. At Unilever, we’re completely rethinking our approach to packaging and we’re working hard to use less, better or no plastic. We’ve set ambitious goals to tackle plastic waste and halve the amount of virgin plastic we use in our packaging; collect and process more plastic packaging than we sell; ensure that 100% of our plastic packaging is designed to be fully reusable, recyclable or compostable; use 25% recycled plastic in our packaging.
