Unilever Claims Half Of Its Factories Produced Zero Landfill Waste In 2012

Unilever reported that more than 50 percent of its factories have achieved the company's goal of generating no landfill waste in 2012. What makes this achievement more remarkable, however, is the €51 billion in annual sales reported by Unilever. Unilever claimed 100 percent of its factories in 18 countries produced no landfill waste in 2012. The company recently revised its Sustainable Living Plan objective of reducing waste for disposal to 2008 levels or lower by bringing the 2020 commitment five years forward to 2015.
