Tide and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) have partnered to promote eco-friendly laundry habits, specifically washing clothes in cold water, as a means to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This initiative aims to shift consumer behavior, making washing in cold water a social norm. The collaboration involves behavioral research conducted by the Behavioral Insights Team (BIT), identifying key strategies to motivate consumers by enhancing capability, opportunity, and motivation. Tide has set an ambitious goal for 2030, aiming for 75% of washes to be done in cold, and reports progress with consumer interest in this shift. Cold water washing can save up to 90% energy per cycle and potentially reduce energy costs by $150 annually for households. Over a decade, this initiative could lead to significant electricity savings and lower emissions, comparable to P&G's global operations.
