Liquid Laundry Detergent (EWG Verified)

Clean, EWG Verified chemistry, but a liquid detergent is mostly water in a plastic bottle. Recyclable HDPE and a cardboard eco-refill box keep it out of jug territory, so it scores a 3 rather than the 8 a virgin plastic jug earns.

3 / 10 Medium plastic footprint $$

An EWG Verified plant-based liquid with a genuinely clean formula. The plastic is the bottle, not the formula. A recyclable HDPE bottle with a cardboard eco-refill option lands it at a 3, low plastic.

How this score breaks down

Plastic in the product and its packaging Some plastic
Recyclable HDPE #2 bottle (brand claim, reconfirm); brand also offers a cardboard bag-in-box eco-refill with a plastic spigot
Microplastic shedding and leaching Doesn't shed
Liquid detergent with no intentionally added microplastics; optical brighteners are disclosed as absent.
End of life: persistence and recovery Persists somewhat
Only partly recoverable; some of it persists.
Plastic-derived chemicals of concern Low concern

Strengths

  • EWG VERIFIED, confirmed on EWG's registry
  • No SLS, SLES, phosphates, or optical brighteners
  • PETA cruelty-free and vegan
  • Cardboard eco-refill option reduces packaging plastic

Trade-offs

  • Standard packaging is a plastic bottle
  • Scented variants contain fragrance; an unscented version exists
