Arm and Hammer laundry sheets have been excellent with minimal packaging, in a small cardboard. Also takes a lot less space in my small laundry room.

Tide unscented powder.
Called "Tide Free" in a white box.
Bar none the cleanest and also most hypoallergenic one available at the moment.
Also comes in liquid, but liquid detergents are the bane of laundry world as they are petri dishes for mold and fungal growth.

PP must shop at some subterranean mystery market where laundry detergent lingers on the shelf for years at a time.

No, in the detergent. When detergents are mixed with water, they are great places for mold growth. Since they are not pasteurized or chemically treated to kill the mold present in them as mold spores are everywhere, they will spoil just sitting on the shelf.
This is why powdered detergents are preferred.
Front loader washing machines are notorious for black mold and other mold and fungal growths due to their limited water use not properly rinsing the machine and clothes.
Also because most people don't leave the doors open for them to air dry.
And lastly also because the rubber door gasket seals have great areas to harbor mold growth unless you wipe them down after each use.

That’s what I do. Cardboard box is key vs. adding more plastic to the landfills.
