Energy saving solutions for home care products

To tackle climate change requires effort from every one of us, at the individual level. Therefore, everyday use products should be designed to allow consumers to change their habits towards more sustainable ones. Solid formats provide several sustainable benefits, reducing the carbon footprint of transportation, allowing for paper-based packaging and reducing waste with single dose units. The challenge of concentrating nature derived and biodegradable ingredients while delivering outstanding performance and sensory is exemplified with the powder to liquid hand dish formulation containing Cellulose Gum and a guar derivative. Improving the performance of a product for optimal cleaning at lower dosage is shown with a glass cleaner tablet that transforms to a liquid. In addition, the energy costs being on the rise, novel technologies should focus on energy saving solutions, thus providing both benefit for the planet as well a tangible saving for the consumer. Powder laundry detergents that give good cleaning performance at low temperature can be designed thanks to a biodegradable soil release agent.
