Clorox embedded ESG goals in its corporate strategy, called IGNITE, launched in 2019. This includes a goal to reduce virgin plastic and fiber packaging (combined, per case of product sold) by 50% by 2030 vs. a 2018 baseline. As an absolute target focused solely on virgin plastics, this new target uses a more recent baseline year of 2020 and reflects current growth projections and plans for reducing our virgin plastic packaging by 2025.

Rolled out a new, concentrated and compacted version of our flagship bleach products. Compared to our bleach cleaning products previously available on the market, our current bleach products require 15% less plastic resin for its primary packaging and 25% less fiber for its corrugated shipping cases, helping advance progress against our IGNITE ESG goal to reduce our combined virgin plastic and fiber packaging by 50% by 2030. In addition to using less packaging, this innovation uses 33% less water and reduces its weight and associated distribution carbon footprint, making the new version a triple win for the environment. Created a 10-year packaging pipeline to enable Clorox to reach our IGNITE goal of 50% virgin packaging reduction. This pipeline has a multiple vector approach which includes significant plastic reduction, replace virgin plastic with PCR/PIR/ Bio resin where possible with our products, reduction of virgin fiber and create more reusable packaging and to achieve 100% RRC.

Actively working on technical discovery projects to identify technical solution to design our multilayer films to be recycle ready. Identifying problematic or unnecessary plastic packaging once the US Plastic Pact material list is published. Evaluating material options to replace non-recyclable multilayer flex pack films with recycle-ready monolayer films. Adding perforations to shrink wrap labels to enable consumers to more easily remove labels that inhibit the recyclability of HDPE bottles. Progressing development of PET compatible labels to replace non-compatible paper labels on PET bottles.

Our Glad® business, the nation's leading household waste solutions brand, and Recyclops, a technology-enabled sustainability and recycling startup, joined forces to expand access to recycling for consumers throughout the U.S. This partnership will expand recycling access to more than 1,000 cities within three years, part of Glad's commitment of doing more to waste less. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/glad-teams-up-with-recyclops-to-bring-recycling-to-100-000-new-households-301292941.html

Identified technical opportunities to meet with high confidence the PCR goal for Clorox. Identified also technical limitations to using PCR on Clorox products, because of product compatibility and consumer safety. Initiated 3 technical pilots for implementation of higher PCR where we have technical limitations.

Over the next two years, Clorox is initiating pilots to increase PCR and is working to execute against an impactful PCR strategy that will require significant changes to manufacturing plants over the next 4-8 years. We have developed a plan and the technology to implement high levels of PCR in our packaging. The main challenge is securing enough PCR supply to meet our needs. Clorox is working on a supply strategy for PCR.

International packaging is based on our purchases of packaging for international operations, and excludes data for packaging procured by contract manufacturers on our behalf. Other International data limitations: CY20 data is estimated based on CY18 or CY19 purchases of packaging, adjusted to account for sales growth in CY20. Recyclability reporting is based on CY20 US sales data and is representative of our global CY20 results for this metric.

Calendar year 2020 saw significant growth in our disinfecting products which drove our total plastic packaging weight greater than 5% of prior year. However, our company’s plastic packaging content per case of product sold decreased by 2.4% despite sales growth of more than 20% in CY2020 vs. CY2019.
