In UNESCO declared World Recycling to promote the importance of managing waste properly, reusing and recycling it, in order to care for the environment. Recycling is an action that we can carry out individually every day, but it is true that, to achieve greater impact, there must be a commitment from society, governments and companies. For this reason, Unilever contributes to restoring the health of the planet by adopting recycling as one of the different strategies they implement to promote the circular economy. "At Unilever we are very aware of the causes and consequences that the linear consumption model entails, that is: take, use and discard, therefore, we ensure that the waste from all our operations is used in the best way and thus, promote circular economy,” says Laura.
Bonilla, Director of Corporate Affairs at Unilever North Latin America. "As for our products, currently 91% of the rigid plastics in Unilever products in Mexico are reusable or recyclable and we are working hard to replace the use of virgin plastic with recovered plastic to take advantage of this valuable material."

Likewise, organic waste from food brands is taken to farms to serve as livestock feed. On the other hand, Unilever has a strategy to rethink the use of plastic, focused on ensuring that it takes its place in the circular economy and outside the environment, which is developed from three axes: design, production, as well as collection and prosecution.
This strategy is supported by five major commitments, which, in Mexico, were signed before the Senate of the Republic to reduce the environmental footprint and promote the generation of a circular plastic economy in the country. With this, Unilever committed that by 2025: All your plastic packaging is reusable, recyclable or compostable. It will increase the use of recycled plastic by at least 25%. It will reduce the use of virgin plastic by 50%. It will help collect and process more plastic packaging than it puts on the market. It will support education on the circular economy through educational programs and platforms. Constant innovation is an attribute that has characterized Unilever, and its application also permeates recycling. In recent weeks, the company has carried out pilot tests at OBBOTEC's new demonstration recycling.
