Question

How are Dulux reducing the impact of packaging on the environment?

Answer

Dulux initiated and achieved a significant packaging weight reduction by introducing fully wrapped distribution in the UK. By this, pallets of product that are delivered into store are no longer stacked on top of each other and therefore the packaging does not need to withstand the additional pressure and is now lighter weight, using less material.

We continue to look for ways to reduce packaging weight with our packaging suppliers.

We are investigating greater use of recycled polymers in plastic containers.

All our packaging complies with the Packaging (Essential Requirements) Regulations in terms of maximum levels of heavy metals.
