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?

    Not really set on it. I’ve already chatted to the partner about it switching it up for just powder, which we are in agreement with.

    Thanks!

      If your dishes end up more spotty than with pods, it’s likely that you’re using more powder than you need to be, FYI.

      Most people who don’t watch nerdy videos on the internet about dishwashers tend to use more powder than needed.
