Unilever needs no landfills anymore

Since 2015, Unilever is reusing all regular waste from more than 240 factories in 67 countries worldwide. This saves the company 200 million USD. 

Unilever- multinational food and non-food – reports that they are the first industrial group of this size, avoiding landfill on this scale. It was not only a matter of saving money, there were also created hundreds of jobs with this approach.

In its new strategy, Unilever is preventing all waste leads.

For non-hazardous waste streams that still remain, the company invents high-quality solutions all over the world. In Ivory Coast residuals get a new life as a building material. In India it is processed into fertilizers for the local community. In China, the waste is set as a raw material for the production of bricks and roads.
