Dirty Labs Bio Laundry Detergent Concentrate
Dirty Labs
Bio Laundry Detergent (Liquid Concentrate)
Aluminum packaging, hyper-concentration, and registry-verified certifications make this one of the lowest-plastic liquid options. The aluminum bottle and a silicone measuring beaker keep it just shy of plastic-free, so a 2.
A hyper-concentrated enzyme detergent in a recyclable aluminum bottle instead of plastic. EWG Verified with a fully disclosed CAS-level formula. Near plastic-free, so a 2.

About Dirty Labs
Dirty Labs is a cleaning-science company co-founded by Dr. Pete He, a chemist, and David Watkins, a product designer, out of the observation that laundry detergent had barely changed in decades. It makes ultra-concentrated bio-enzyme laundry detergent along with dish soap, dishwasher detergent, and a probiotic toilet cleaner, free of ethoxylates, parabens, and other flagged chemicals.
The brand states it carries EPA Safer Choice recognition, an EPA program that vets ingredients for safety, though that was not independently confirmed here, and its formulas are accepted by the National Eczema Association. It ships in aluminum bottles with a refill focus rather than being fully plastic-free, and it sits at a premium price.
