Todd Cline currently serves as Senior Director, Head of Sustainability, Procter & Gamble, North America Fabric Care. In this role, Cline is responsible for developing new programs and business operations across Tide and Gain laundry detergents, the leading brands in the industry, to continuously deliver better outcomes for people and planet. He plays a critical role in leading sustainability efforts, including the design and launch of Tide purclean, the first plant-based detergent with the cleaning power of Tide. He also leads Tide’s partnership with WWF and Hanes on the importance of cold water washing.
Background on Tide’s cold water story
Tide is America’s #1 laundry detergent, and for over 75 years, the brand has been committed to changing the way laundry is done. 53 million homes in America trust Tide for its superior cleaning power, so we take seriously the responsibility, and ability, to create change at scale.
That’s why Tide has set its own Ambition 2030, with actionable goals to reduce emissions across its lifecycle in the next several years on its journey to decarbonize laundry. And truly decarbonizing laundry means addressing all parts of the value chain. When we look at the laundry lifecycle, we can see that a whopping two-thirds of the climate footprint of laundry comes from the consumer use phase, specifically driven by the energy required to heat water in the wash cycle.
To help drive the greatest impact for our planet, Tide is going beyond P&G’s Net Zero by 2040 commitment to specifically address consumer use, with a goal to turn 3 in 4 loads of laundry to cold water by 2030.
Washing in cold (vs. hot) water saves over 90% energy in every load of laundry. Put another way, that’s enough energy savings to power the entire average American household for over an hour. When you consider that there are 30 billion loads of laundry done annually in the U.S. and Canada, those energy savings add up to big impact for our planet.
If Tide can meet its goal to turn 3 in 4 loads to cold by 2030, we can avoid 27MMMT of GHG emissions, which is more than 10x the emissions of P&G’s annual global operations. It would be an energy savings and GHG emissions reduction equivalent to powering down all of New York City and San Francisco for over a year.
