Unilever unveils $1.18B plan to scrub fossil fuels from production of cleaning and laundry products

Containers of Unilever's Persil Ultimate Powergems Bio Detergent and Non-Bio Detergent are seen in a photo illustration shot June 22, 2017.

The household goods conglomerate behind the Omo, Cif, Sunlight and Domestos brands said that, instead of petrochemicals, the products would use constituents created from plants and other biological sources, marine sources such as algae and waste materials. The switch – which Unilever said it is the first company to commit to – will cut those emissions by a fifth.

Surfactants, or de-greasing agents, are the biggest petroleum-derived components, Peter ter Kulve, said.
