Unilever is Achieving zero waste to landfill 6 years ahead of schedule!


We achieved our target of sending zero non-hazardous waste to landfill from our factories in 2014, six years ahead of schedule. We're focused on maintaining that performance, while reducing and reusing our waste.

Although we achieved our zero waste to landfill ahead of schedule, we still have a job to do to ensure that we maintain our performance. In 2019, we disposed of 145,299 fewer tonnes of total waste than in 2008, a 96% reduction per tonne of production. But we’re also producing 40% less waste than we did in 2008 – and we’ve achieved around €223 million in cumulative cost avoidance. Now that we send zero non-hazardous waste to landfill, we want to keep focusing on minimising the amount of waste we produce.
