Our Sustainability

HEALTHIER MOUTHS, HEALTHIER PLANET

OUR FUTURE

We envision a world where everyone, everywhere recognizes that a healthy mouth is an important part of a healthy self. When we say we’re committed to helping you achieve the best oral care, we’re also making a commitment to do it in a responsible, sustainable way that will help protect our planet.

RESPONSIBLE PACKAGING

Responsible Packaging icon

We continuously strive to reduce packaging waste, using more recyclable and recycled materials.

  • Our clear Listerine bottles are made of the most recycled plastic material in the world, and our clear PET bottles are recyclable in most markets.
  • To help recycle caps, keep them ON the bottle when recycling to avoid having them end up in the environment.
  • We plan to begin launching packaging with post-consumer plastic (PCR) in 2022 or 2023 with an aspiration to get to 100% by 2030.
  • Our LISTERINE® Concentrate Refills uses 60% less plastic than the 500mL bottle. Yet another step towards our goal of achieving healthier mouths on a healthier planet.
