Is Crest sustainable?

We do not yet score enough Crest products to give the brand a sustainability rating. P&G aims to reduce virgin plastic use by 50% by 2030, and Crest partners with TerraCycle for oral care recycling programs in some markets.

We read sustainability as verifiable practice, not marketing: third-party certification, packaging design, sourcing disclosure and published, dated targets. Claims without evidence score as unverified.

P&G conducts animal testing only when required by law, including for sales in China, so Crest cannot be considered cruelty-free.
