Product Sustainability

When we formulate and manufacture Clorox® products, we keep you and our planet in mind. We conduct environmental safety assessments to help ensure our products will be safe for the environment when used as directed. These evaluations include such things as biodegradation and bioaccumulation, and impact on septic systems, aquatic life, birds, and other wildlife. We’re also constantly working on more efficient, sustainable solutions for our product packaging that include using recyclable or compostable materials.

For instance, it might surprise you to know that the lifecycle of our namesake Clorox® bleach, one of the world’s most effective and inexpensive disinfectants, starts and ends with sodium chloride, common table salt. Brita® filters provide great-tasting water without the plastic waste from bottled water. Glad® ForceFlex® trash bags are made in a way that we’re using one million pounds less plastic per year compared to our original trash bags. Burt’s Bees® earth-friendly products have set a high bar in natural personal care. The Kingsford® Products Manufacturing Company is an industry leader in environmental controls and sustainability for charcoal manufacturing.
