15 Nov 2023 --- Working with partners, Unilever’s India business is piloting the production of synthetic soda ash — a key ingredient in laundry powder — with a “near-zero” GHG footprint. If proved at scale, the company anticipates the innovation will help unlock faster emissions reductions along its supply chain. The pilot will help make enough “near-zero” soda ash for about 6,000 metric tons of laundry powder.
