Ecolab designs products for maximum positive impact. Our primary objective is to help customers achieve significant sustainability, safety and productivity gains in their own operations, while minimizing the footprint of the products we deliver. Everyone at Ecolab shares this responsibility, and the foundations of sustainable design are embedded into our Research and Development processes.
Product Sustainability
Ecolab is on a continuous journey to be a leader in product safety and sustainability. Our policies and programs have been developed to protect what is vital – People Health, Planet Health and Business Health.
When it comes to our products, we consider the total impact on both human health and the environment. Our Impacts That Matter criteria and packaging principles help ensure that Ecolab products are designed with sustainability in mind without compromising safety or performance.
Ecolab is a leader in the industry in developing new, effective solutions that help our customers drive operational efficiency, product quality, safety and compliance while minimizing environmental impact throughout a product’s lifecycle.
Packaging Goals
Ecolab is committed to ensuring that our products and packaging advance safety and sustainability. We continuously improve our designs to help minimize waste and safely deliver best-in-class experiences for our customers. Our commitment to excellence in packaging is supported by a global team of more than 50 packaging professionals, including engineers, materials scientists, analysts and technicians.
By 2030, our ambition is to have moved to reusable or recyclable-by-design packaging for non-regulated products. Currently, 91% of Ecolab’s packaging by weight is reusable or recyclable-by-design.
- Wipe substrate is plastic free. Soft pack packaging comprised of plastic. Represents a 90%+ reduction in total plastic compared to the total plastic mass of a wipe canister containing 160 plastic wipes.
- Disinfectant 1 Wipe, EPA Reg. No. 1677-263, refer to product label for use directions.
- Reduction in plastic waste is an approximation based on customer use of all six Ecolab ReadyDose products, assuming use of one case of each product per month over 12 months, compared with the equivalent use of Ecolab liquid products, which is enabled by the smaller, lighter package size for solid tablets.

Nevin shares key insights into Ecolab’s circular packaging strategy and 2030 ambition to move to reusable or readily recyclable materials in our non-regulated packaging. Ecolab will continue to incorporate post-consumer recycled materials in our packaging where feasible without compromising user safety or performance.
