Soap 2025 is a voluntary initiative launched by the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) in 2020. It aims to transform the soap industry by promoting the use of sustainable and responsible practices throughout the value chain, from sourcing to packaging. The initiative has set ambitious targets for 2025, including:
- 100% of soap products to be made with sustainable palm oil
- 100% of soap packaging to be recyclable or compostable
- 100% of soap manufacturing sites to be zero waste
Soap 2025 is an important initiative because it brings together major soap manufacturers, retailers, and suppliers to work towards a common goal of sustainability. By setting clear targets and timelines, the initiative provides a roadmap for the industry to follow. Additionally, Soap 2025 raises awareness of the environmental and social impacts of the soap industry, and encourages consumers to make more sustainable choices.
