Surf excel matic liquid and societal marketing concept:

As a responsible organization, surf excel is committed to taking smaller steps to collectively and
positively impact climate change. Surf excel is trying to achieve their company’s objectives by
focusing on both human needs and society well-being.

Largest laundry brand, Surf excel, advances in the journey towards a Clean Future by
introducing Surf excel Matic Liquid with 100% biodegradable actives in the product formulation
and 50% recycled plastic in packaging – a great start to reducing the environmental footprint in
the product life cycle.

The product, pack and communication change are a slight nudge from Surf excel to the citizens
to believe their choices make a difference in creating a world we all wish for. HUL partnered
with Banyan Nation to innovate and create bottles that are less dependent on virgin plastic
thereby reducing the net plastic generated. One of the most successful brands in India and the
leader in Laundry category wanted us to devise a packaging that would communicate the
transformation that the brand was driving by taking a step into sustainability.

The challenge was to give them a face that elevates the image of Surf Excel to the next level,
outstanding than following the smaller products addressing specific needs.

The fundamental task in our hands was to maintain the liquid packaging equity of Surf Excel
Matic and to develop sustainable packaging throughout. We started the packaging by examining
the elements affecting people when we called “Green Planet.” We wanted to visually introduce
the ‘Green Earth,’ therefore we gave it a center stage in our packaging design. The packaging
also included graphics of children planting saplings and collecting plastic rubbish to represent
children taking tiny steps toward a green future.
 

By infusing the Globe in 100 percent, the top portion emphasised the ‘Green earth’ element. It
also mentions the product’s and packaging’s USPs, such as 100 percent biodegradable actives
and 100 percent recyclable bottles. In total, the brand team liked the greatly beloved Surf Excel
Matic liquid bottles in the face of new sustainability.
