Freddie
Plastic free and low waste laundry detergent sheets
Freddie's Sustainability Rating:
Fair
Fair
Freddie is rated Fair because it has started to improve its products and packaging, but still has room to grow.
Freddie uses minimal packaging and concentrated formulas for all of its products, which greatly reduces its shipping emissions and helps minimize packaging. However, It doesn't have any firm overarching ingredient commitments and it still uses some ingredients that pose a significant threat to the climate, including petrochemical-based ingredients such as polyvinyl alcohol, a plastic-based film with limited scientific evidence of its biodegradability. It's missing reporting on further sustainability initiatives and we hope to see more information shared in the future.
