Environmental issues are at the forefront of people’s minds at the moment with the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference taking place from the 31st October to the 12th November. We are all aware that small changes can make a big difference to the health of the planet and many of us are already making the simple swaps in our daily lives to more environmentally freindly products and methods. Did you know however that using our washing powder instead of liquid detergent pods can help the environment? Read on to find out more.
Our washing powder vs liquid detergent pods
- Our washing powder has no added chemicals unlike the liquid detergent pods which contain a very damaging chemical cocktail that makes them detrimental to the environment.
- Our washing powder is available to buy in 1kg dispenser bottles with the option to buy refill packets, cutting down on any unecessary packaging and waste. Liquid detergent pods generally tend to come in large plastic boxes and don’t always have a refill option available.
- Our washing powder is naturally softening so there is no need for fabric softener unlike when using liquid detergent pods. This further reduces the need for extra plastic packaging containers.
- Our washing powder is not tested on animals whereas many liquid laundry detergent brands continue to test on animals.
- All of the ingredients in our washing powder are fully biodegradable. Studies have shown that up to 75% of plastics from liquid detergent pods enter the environment as the PVA material used for the pod casings need very specific conditions in order to be biodegradable.
