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 tried this recently after watching that TechnologyConnections video and it was a complete failure.

    The dishes came out with this white dusty film all over them that they didn’t have with tablets.

    I tried less powder, more powder, a little more powder on the open door to be in the first cycle and made sure my rinse aid was topped up.
