## Claims

### Claim 1

A unit dose laundry treatment composition comprising a surfactant comprising a C8-22 alkyl chain and a mole average of from 2 to 40 ethoxylate units, at least one ethoxylate unit or alkyl chain comprising carbon obtained from carbon capture wherein the composition comprises a fragrance component selected from the groups consisting of (4Z)-cyclopentadec-4-en-1-one, rose oxide, ethyl-2-methyl valerate (manzanate), limonene, dihyro myrcenol, dimethyl benzyl carbonate acetate, benzyl acetate, geraniol, methyl nonyl acetaldehyde, cyclacet (verdyl acetate), cyclamal, beta ionone, hexyl salicylate, tonalid, phenafleur, octahydrotetramethyl acetophenone (OTNE), a benzene, toluene, xylene (BTX) feedstock class comprising 2-phenyl ethanol, phenoxanol and mixtures thereof, a cyclododecanone feedstock class comprising habolonolide, a phenolics feedstock class comprising hexyl salicylate, a C5 blocks or oxygen containing heterocycle moiety feedstock class comprising gamma decalactone, methyl dihydrojasmonate and mixtures thereof, a terpenes feedstock class comprising dihydromycernol, linalool, terpinolene, camphor, citronellol and mixtures thereof, an alkyl alcohols feedstock class an ethyl-2-methylbutyrate, a diacids feedstock class comprising ethylene brassylate, and mixtures thereof.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1 wherein the surfactant is an alcohol ethoxylate or an alkyl ether sulphate.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1 wherein both carbon atoms in at least one ethoxylate unit are obtained from carbon capture.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1 wherein at least 10% of the ethoxylate groups comprise carbon atoms obtained from carbon capture.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1 wherein at least 10% of the alkyl chains groups comprise carbon atoms obtained from carbon capture.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1 wherein said composition is contained within a water-soluble capsule.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1 comprising from 0 to 25% wt.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1 wherein the surfactant comprises from 5 to 9 ethoxylate groups.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1 wherein the surfactant comprises from 1 to 3 ethoxylate groups.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1 wherein the carbon obtained from carbon capture is obtainable from gaseous carbon dioxide extracted from a flue gas.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1 wherein the carbon obtained from carbon capture is obtainable from physically or chemically binding carbon dioxide from air.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1 wherein the carbon obtained from carbon capture comprises carbon obtainable by transforming carbon dioxide to form ethanol by a process selected from chemical transformation by Fischer-Tropsch using a hydrogen catalyst; conversion to ethanol chemically using a catalyst of copper nanoparticles embedded in carbon spikes; solar photo-thermochemical alkane reverse combustion; or biological transformation.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1 wherein less than 90% of the ethoxylate groups comprise carbon atoms obtained from petroleum-based sources.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1 wherein the C8-22 alkyl is obtained from a plant, algae or yeast.
