  • RB Partners with Veolia to Drive a Circular Plastics Economy
    RB partners with Veolia to drive a circular plastics economy Reckitt Benckiser (RB) and Veolia have today announced their partnership to drive the shift to a circular plastics economy. The partnership with Veolia is another step RB is taking to fulfil its pledge to make 100 percent of its plastic packaging recyclable and to contain at least 25 percent recycled content by 2025. Veolia and RB started working together two years ago to work on increasing the use of postconsumer recycled plastic in RB’s packaging. The first offering from the partnership is the new packaging for Finish Quantum. The packaging now contains 30% recycled plastic and is proudly grey in colour because RB has decided not to add masking pigments or additives to the packaging. The companies will continue their collaboration on designing for recyclability and the maximization of post-consumer recycled content. To accelerate the circular plastics economy, a team of 20 experts from RB and Veolia are also working to develop enhanced collection systems, driving behaviour change to aid consumer sorting habits and improving recycling from households. “The partnership between Veolia and RB Hygiene Home brings together our complementary capabilities to drive ​ a positive contribution to the circular economy. We have just started the journey by increasing recycled content and improving recyclability and are excited about the wider opportunities across our value chains”, says Fabrice ​ Beaulieu, EVP Marketing, R&D and Sustainability for RB Hygiene Home. “We are delighted to be collaborating with RB on this ongoing strategy to reduce their environmental footprint. ​ We are working hand-in-hand with RB to develop packaging with greater recycled content and improved recyclability for the RB group’s consumers,” says Antoine Frérot, Chairman and CEO of Veolia.

    IIMC-CRC-2015-09 IIMC CASE RESEARCH CENTRE (IIMCCRC) PRASHANT MISHRA, TINU JAIN MARCH 2014 DUREX IN INDIA: THE CATEGORY NORMALISATION CHALLENGE THE ORIGIN Reckitt Benckiser, a British multinational consumer goods company, has brands like Dettol (the world's largest-selling antiseptic), Strepsils (the world's largest-selling sore throat medicine), Veet (the world's largest-selling depilatory brand), Air Wick (the world's second- largest-selling air freshener), Calgon, Clearasil, Cillit Bang, Durex, Lysol, and Vanish in its portfolio among many others. The company entered into the contraceptive market acquiring Durex brand globally and had started to run that business since Nov’12. Durex has been making highest quality condoms for nearly 80 years. With over 30% of the global branded condom market, it is the number 1 condom brand in the world. However despite dominant market position globally, the brand has the challenge to change the perception of Indian consumers and channel partners regarding sexual well-being (male contraceptive) to normalise the category and drive growth. The current market share of Durex is around 4%1 in India, a market which is underdeveloped compared to other markets regarding the category size and growth. The brand team acknowledges that there is a lot to be done to make the brand a formidable player in the sexual well-being (male contraceptive) category. A recent study commissioned by the Durex brand marketing team has thrown up some interesting facts about the category dynamics and challenges in marketing condom in India.
