INTRODUCTION
We at Cottonelle® are aiming to cut our environmental footprint to 50%
by 2030 through smart sustainable practices.
FOREST
100% of fibers for Cottonelle® products come from sustainable resources.That
means no harsh chemicals, dyes, or plastic fibers that harm biodiversity and
forest-dependent cultures.
By promoting sustainable forest management, we can lessen the acceleration of
climate change while also conserving critical, rich, terrestrial biodiversity and
supporting forest-dependent communities around the world.
PLASTIC
Kimberly-Clark works to improve our material efficiency, develop innovative
alternatives to fossil fuel-based plastics, and support circular material flows and
other end-of-life solutions.
Each year since 2019 we’ve reduced our use of new, fossil-fuel based plastics,
diverted manufacturing waste from landfill to beneficial uses, and made more of
our current recovered, recyclable, compostable, and or biodegradable packaging.
ENERGY
Our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction efforts are focused on energy
conservation, renewable and alternative energy generation, and improving
measurement of our emissions.
We are focused on increasing renewable energy generation in North America by
lowering energy consumption and identifying alternative, renewable energy
sources to power our manufacturing operations.
