P&G’s Energy Footprint
Product InnovationCold Water Washing
Environmental Benefits of Cold Water Washing
Great ImpactIf every U.S. household used cold water for laundry, the energy savings would be 70 to 90 billion kilowatt hours per year.
These savings would translate into 34 million tons of carbon dioxide per year not released into the environment, which is nearly eight percent of the Kyoto target for the U.S.
Changing Consumer Behavior….In the UK, 23% now wash in 30°C, up from 2%. Over 58,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions prevented.
In the Netherlands, 52% now wash in 30oC, up from 7%.
Product InnovationDramatic Changes in Formulation
40-50%Less water to manufacture
30-40%Less energy to manufacture
20-50%Less energy by washing
in low temperatures
14-40%Less packaging
40-57%Less trucks to transport
A Dramatic Reduction in Overall Environmental Footprint
Innovation in Packaging
Partnered with WRAP in UK to deliver innovation that enables packaging reduction without compromising integrity.
