Although plastic bottles are now widely collected for recycling in the UK, recent revelations from Greenpeace about UK plastic recycling ending up in incinerators or being dumped abroad adds to the argument that reduction and reuse are the only sensible ways forward.

We expect companies to show a good approach to toxics by having a ban on the use of triclosan, parabens and phthalates. Unlike regular dishwashing liquid, dishwasher detergents are formulated to clean without suds. In lieu of suds, dishwasher detergents rely on enzymes to break down messes and residues. Shopping for an eco-friendly formula? Look for a detergent that contains minerals and plant-based ingredients and is free of phosphates, which makes them environmentally friendly and biodegradable. If you have hard water, consider a rinse aid that is specifically designed to eliminate water spots, chalky film, and other mineral residues. Our top choice for hard water, Amaze!
