Pingo Doce Uses Plastic From Oceans For Packaging
On World Ocean Day, Portuguese retailer Pingo Doce introduced a dishwashing detergent packed in a material that uses plastics from the ocean.
The packaging of ‘Detergente Concentrado Oceano Ultra Pro’ comprises 11% marine plastic and 89% recycled plastic.
Pingo Doce has manufactured around 300,000 bottles for this product using more than 7,500 kilograms of recycled plastic.
Out of the 7,500 kilograms of recycled plastic, around 825 kilograms was sourced from seas and oceans.
The retailer’s ecodesign packaging project, launched in 2011, has reduced the use of 15,000 tonnes of packaging materials comprising cardboard, plastic, and glass.
It also resulted in cutting transport-related CO2 emissions by 2,800 tonnes.
