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?
(edit, for clarity, I’m in the US)
I just use Nellie’s dish powder. They’re Canadian, but it just comes in a big 1.5L tin. The only plastic is the reusable scoop, and the local refillery will refill it when you run out. Check local refilleries in your area, they are a bit more expensive, but generally have high quality products and little to no plastic waste.
