Henkel was the first global fast-moving consumer goods company to team up with social enterprise Plastic Bank one year ago. The goal: Collecting plastic waste before it enters the ocean. At the collection centers in Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world, the local population can return collected plastic waste and exchange it for money, goods, or services. The so called “Social Plastic” is then integrated back into the plastic value chain. Now for the first time, Henkel included this Social Plastic in its packaging.

Henkel and smart home company, Netatmo, announce today the positive sustainability result of implementing smart home technology to their manufacturing plants. Henkel uses Netatmo’s Smart Home Weather Stations in all of its 31 Laundry & Home Care factories to correlate weather data with potential procedures and changes to their manufacturing processes.
