PanteneCommitted to Renewable Materials

Pantene is piloting the use of plant-based plastic in its packaging. Innovative material made from sugarcane — a first for the mass hair care industry — debuted in the Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion collection last April in Western Europe, and is expanding to North America in Fall 2011.

The sugarcane is converted into ethanol and eventually into plastic utilizing a by-product from the rest of the plant to provide some of the energy needed to fuel this process.

New packaging launched in W.Europe:

57% reduction in plastic compared to originally launched Fusion.

20% reduction in gross weight compared to original Fusion launch package.

To minimize plastic, use of fibre material made

from bamboo, sugarcane, and bulrush.

• Earth day The practice of “Turn over your trash can.” employees were challenged to not use their individual trash can

for a week to consider how they personally could reduce the waste they produce and recycle more. At many sites all over the world, teams implemented centralized waste stations, where employees gave up their trash can and disposed of waste, recycling, paper and compost at a centralized station on the floor.
