Unilever ups R&D of eco-friendly laundry goods

Unilever Plc, a British consumer goods company, has announced that it will continue to strengthen research and development efforts of more high-end and green laundry products in China to meet growing demand of such products by Chinese consumers.

Sales growth of high-quality and environmentally friendly laundry products in China, one of Unilever's three largest markets globally, has been faster than the average growth rate of overall categories, fueled by a rising number of middle-income consumers who are willing to pay for high-quality and economical home care products.

Unilever said that in the future, it aims to invest 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) of climate and nature fund to support its sustainability goals and develop green products globally.
