Consumer goods giant Unilever has pledged to ensure that all of the plastic packaging from its products will be “fully reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025”. Unilever, which owns brands such as Dove, Ben & Jerry’s and Marmite, has already committed to reducing the weight of the packaging it uses by one third before 2020, but now they are going one step further in order to tackle the issue of ocean plastic waste. On Monday, Unilever joined over 80 large firms to call on UK Prime Minister Theresa May to step up support for the UN’S Sustainable Development Goals, displaying that companies are becoming more serious about addressing the pressing issue of climate change.
