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?

    I just get the powder from Sainsbury’s.
    I find I get better results, as I can kinda dial in how much is needed. It means I can put some in the pre wash too.
    Just remember that if you’re using powder, the salt/rinse aid need filling separately.

    Morrisons own brand tabs only have the cellulose wrapper, if that’s what your definitely after.

      Interesting, I’ve been to Lidl, and Tescos and neither have a dishwasher powder. I’m going to try Sainsburys, but so far I haven’t found anywhere that carries a powder.
