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?

    Aldi still have the cardboard box and cellular film tablets. As with Lidl, these do run out quite regularly. I’ve started getting a box whenever I see them, rather than when I run low, just in case. I’ve only rarely had to resort to the pouches.

      Aldi is unfortunately quite far for me. I have at least 2 Lidls I would have to pass before I get there, I will bare that in mind though whenever I’m over that end of town.
