Designed specifically for e-commerce, the company will deliver the Tide Eco-Box to customers in a sealed cardboard box.
According to the company, the new concept is designed to offer a lighter shipping solution for online deliveries and reduce the need for layers of packaging.
Tide Eco-Box is made using 60% less plastic and 30% less water compared to 150oz Tide press-tap. The company used the ultra-compacted formula to make it light.
P&G Fabric Care group e-commerce innovation brand manager Isaac Hellemn said: “We know that the ‘last mile’ remains the biggest challenge both economically and ecologically in e-commerce.
