Henkel is the first company in the world to integrate recycled plastics into the plastic chain. The Henkel Group also worked with local companies and banks a year ago.
In Haiti, one of the world's poorest countries, locals collect plastic waste and collect the collected plastic waste in the collection center with money, goods or services, and then integrate it back into the plastic value chain. For the first time, Henkel took the initiative to use this social plastic in its packaging. Henkel's laundry and home care packaging development department has produced 25,000 bottles of recycled plastic laundry and cleaning products.
Walman Laundry Packaging Manager said: 'We are very satisfied with the initial pilot project to incorporate recycled plastic into our packaging. Packaging meets all quality standards to make the product successfully enter the market. We hope to include more in future product packaging. More recycled plastic. '
Henkel and Plastics Bank jointly opened three plastic collection centers in Haiti this year. The recycled waste plastics are sorted, processed, and then used as a recycling value chain for social plastics. Plastic banks verify the collected plastics and ensure that they are carried. Plastics people get paid above market prices. Henkel has decided to explore ways to incorporate social plastics into their product packaging.
Henkel's initiative is to promote a circular economy, and the company has taken proactive steps for three key phases of the cyclical value chain: materials from sustainable sources, intelligent packaging design and closed loops.
