I’m always looking for ways to reduce my plastic waste, and manufacturer’s always seem to be trying to find ways to trick me.
I normally get the Lidl dishwasher tablets as they are the only brand that appears to come plastic free, cardboard box, and tablets wrapped in a dissolvable cellulose film. However sometimes I can’t get there as its not always convenient.
Latest was CoOp that sold a cardboard box of tablets, but then each tablet was bloody wrapped in plastic, which is probably worse than just a plastic bag of the bastards.
Does anyone else know of brands that are safe to buy because they won’t try to trick you with hidden plastics?
and powder can combine base and acidic ingredients (tablets can, too), unlike liquid, and can be had in cardboard containers instead of plastic jugs. It’s honestly the all around winner
And when you buy the liquid, you’re paying to have half the product replaced with water. And then there is the extra shipping cost for that water, and the packaging has to be more robust to prevent leaks.
Liquid detergent where the primary ingredient is water is a fucking scam.
