Laundry Detergent Eco Sheets

The cardboard envelope is the honest part of the pitch: there is no plastic jug and no plastic packaging. The sheet itself is another story. It is carried by polyvinyl alcohol, a synthetic water-soluble polymer that goes down the drain with every load, and the brand’s own ingredient database lists it plainly. Great packaging, polymer formula.

How this score breaks down

Plastic in the product and its packaging Some plastic
Cardboard envelope, no plastic packaging
Microplastic shedding and leaching Sheds some
Sheet is dissolved PVA polymer to wastewater each load; real-world persistence after treatment is scientifically contested and is penalized, not excused, here
End of life: persistence and recovery Persists somewhat
Only partly recoverable; some of it persists.
Plastic-derived chemicals of concern No concerns
No phthalates, bisphenols, or PFAS.
Transparency and disclosure Mostly disclosed
SKU-level public ingredient database with CAS numbers
