Q: Why is Tide choosing to launch a plant-based detergent?
A: We believe the best way to help create a more sustainable future is to make the products that people use and love every day better. Tide purclean™ is the next step in our journey to create detergents that help consumers make sustainable choices. We are exploring using more bio-based ingredients not only because of the positive impacts an increased use of renewable materials will have on the environment and the sustainability of our business, long-term, but also because more and more consumers are seeking out bio-based ingredients in their products. After all, a more sustainable detergent can only have impact if people use it!
