Note to Consumers

Packaging is a priority for Colgate, too. We have made a lot of progress in reducing the amount of packaging we use, increasing recycled content, and making our packaging recyclable, also looking at different materials. Unfortunately, removing cartons, which we've done in some regions, has drawbacks. The alternative stand-up tubes requires more plastic to protect product integrity and extra packing material, which in turn makes them 15% heavier to ship (increasing fuel needs). But we're on it and working fast!
