Green 'plastic' money, page-26

Consumer goods giant Unilever vowed to halve the amount of new plastic it uses over the next five years, by shifting to more recyclable and alternative materials and refillable options to meet consumer demand for less waste.

Unilever joins other companies tackling plastic use as consumers become increasinlgy concerned about the amount of waste and the danger of plastic pollution to marine life.
Britain’s second-biggest supermarket chain Sainsbury’s promised to halve its plastic packaging by 2025 last month, while rival Tesco said it would ban brands that use excessive packaging from its stores next year.

For Unilever, the moves announced on Monday are part of its commitments to make all of its plastic packaging reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025.
