[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like Earth Breeze-- the detergent is in sheet form. No plastic whatsoever. And it is very portable for travel. I am trying to really cut down on the plastic that comes into the house [/quote] Unfortunately, this is false. The sheets are made with polyvinyl alcohol, which is a form of plastic. Although the sheet makers claim the plastics break down and are 100% water-soluble, this isn't true under home use/municipal wastewater treatment conditions, so you're just adding microplastics to the waterways. This is true for all the sheet brands, not just Earth Breeze. I was super grumpy to learn about this because I think the sheet manufacturers are so misleading in their advertising. Here's the research: https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/18/11/6027/htm If you want to buy powder, look for one in a cardboard box, not a plastic container. I used CountrySave for many years. I got concerned about the energy costs of shipping the big heavy boxes, though, so now I use Blueland (compressed powder in tablet form) , and DirtyLabs (liquid detergent that comes in recyclable aluminum bottles). So far I think I like DirtyLabs better.[/quote]
