More Sustainable Packaging

At Clorox, we’re constantly seeking sustainable solutions for product packaging, while delivering superior products that meet consumer needs. We focus on the redesign and lightweighting of our packaging, decreasing the amount of plastic resin and increasing the amount of recycled content used in our packaging and enabling the packaging to be recycled. We do this without compromising the effectiveness or usability of the product.

Clorox Products
Some of our packaging success stories are:

  • Today, 90% of our U.S. product cartons are made from 100% recycled content (minimum 35% post-consumer content and the remainder is reused scraps and waste)
  • More than 85% of the packages that house our products are recyclable.
  • Most of our U.S. retail display materials are made from 100% post-consumer waste.
  • By reducing the amount of HDPE resin, the "raw" form of plastic used in Clorox® regular bleach and our household cleaner bottles and canisters, we have cut our resin use by more than 5 million pounds a year.
  • We reduced by an average of 45 percent the amount of packaging material used in many of our Glad® trash bag products.
  • In our Litter product line, we have moved from plastic pails to cartons and bags for a very significant improvement to our packaging footprint.
  • We have moved to new more eco-efficient triggers on all of our spray cleaning products.
  • The release of our concentrated Clorox 2® Stain Fighter and Color Booster led to a 36% resin reduction in packaging materials (saving more than 2.4 million lbs of resin annually).
  • We have removed the PVC shrink wrapping packaging on all of our Burt’s Bees® Lip Balms and Lip Shimmer products, saving over 1800 miles of shrink wrapping film that would have otherwise found its ways to landfills.
