We're serious about packaging and plastic waste

We're taking action to: Remove it where we can. Reduce it where we can't. Reuse more. Recycle what's left.

Remove. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

Our 4Rs plan means we're removing excess and non-recyclable material from our business, and recycling every piece of packaging

Here's what we've achieved so far

We've already made a massive impact with our 4Rs plan. Here's a snapshot of some of the things we've done

Remove

We’ve canned the plastic on multipacks, saving 67 million pieces of plastic this year. Less plastic, same great price

Reduce

We’ve done a load to cut laundry packaging. By reducing the size of some of our large washing powder packs, we've saved 58 tonnes of cardboard

Reuse

We're delivering on reusable packaging. We've teamed up exclusively with Loop in the UK to bring your favourite products to your door in reusable packaging, cutting down on plastic waste

Recycle

We’ve brought clothes recycling back into fashion. Between April 2019 and March 2020, we recycled 11,000 tonnes of clothing, footwear and home textiles through our 'Detox your wardrobe' scheme
