Tough on stains, kinder to our planet
Unilever's largest detergent brand, OMO (also known as Persil, Skip, Surf Excel depending on where you live) believes taking action, alongside others, has a positive impact on young people’s wellbeing, their communities, and the planet. We believe that all young people should feel supported and empowered to roll up their sleeves and take action on what matters to them, no matter how messy.
That’s why we have set up the Dirt Is Good Project, which aims to help ten million young people take positive action for a better world where they can lead healthier, happier lives.
We have an inimitable philosophy for a leading laundry brand; Dirt Is Good, we are the only brand to show that getting dirty is a positive experience for all. We also realise that now more than ever the world needs people to stand up and take positive action, this is why our purpose is to power up people to take action on the issues that matter to them, no matter how dirty they get. Because we know that taking action and getting dirty has a positive impact on people’s wellbeing, their communities and the planet.
Production, packaging and ingredients. We’re putting them all to the test. Around the world, we are launching our cleanest and greenest product yet, designed to be tough on stains and kinder to our world. Dirt Is Good brands will lead the democratisation of sustainability without compromising on top performance, always tough on stains and kinder to our planet.
We want to inspire young people to help make the world a better place through their schools, communities and beyond. We are working together with parents, educators and NGOs like Global Action Plan to give young people the confidence to set their potential free and build a brighter future together.
We’re committed to reducing the amount of packaging needed for our products while closing the loop on plastic. That’s why we’ve adopted a less plastic, better plastic and no plastic approach. In the UK, our bottles use 20% less plastic and 70% less plastic in our tubs. We are also committed to using 100% recycled plastic in our packaging and next year will be launching the world’s first paper-based laundry detergent bottle designed to be recycled in standard paper waste streams.
