EC30 Laundry Detergent Packs | Zero Waste, Biodegradable Laundry Pods Review 2020
The Top Line: EC30’s zero waste laundry swatches are INSANELY expensive. It smells great, and looks cute, but it will literally break your bank. We cannot recommend for everyday use — but perhaps it can be used for travel.
The Breakdown:
Cost & Products: $29.00 for 30 Swatches, $20.30 for 30 Swatches for a subscription
Packaging: Compostable packaging, plastic free.
Purchasing & Shipping: Easy DTC purchasing process, no complaints!
Good to know: They have a lot of trial kits / bundles — we purchased the Home Care Trial Kit.
Extra Info: For those that are sensitive to scents, please note that the scent is fairly strong. But we liked it!
What’s Your Impact? No plastic, compostable packaging, and no liquids (which means lighter shipping, less carbon footprint). We like!
The Experience
Context: We currently use Dropps and Beyond Laundry Sheets
The swatches are very cute
Smells lovely (though some folks may think it is too strong)
Laundry came out fresh and clean
Overall, no complaints… but let’s look at the $$ numbers now…
The Cost
We compared EC30’s Laundry Packs with a number of other laundry tablets, powders, pods and packs that we have tried, from Blueland’s laundry tablets to Seventh Generation Laundry Tablets to Dropps’ laundry pods. In fact, we have tried so many we have a roundup of 8 different zero-waste laundry brands that you can read up on here.
Money Report: The pricing for EC30’s laundry packs are insane — almost 2x the cost of the next most expensive brand😱. We’re not sure why.
The Good:
✔ Pre-measured swatches reduce overuse of soap (which most people are guilty of)
✔ Zero waste packaging and product
✔ Great clean scent (not light though for those that don’t like scent)!
✔ Cute packaging — we like the tiny washing machine icon on the laundry pack!
✔ Could be a nice travel product.
The Bad:
✗ OMG the price.
✗ Scent might be too strong for some people.
Our Recommendation: EC30’s zero waste laundry swatches are INSANELY expensive. It’s smells great, and looks cute, but it will literally break your bank. We cannot recommend for everyday use — but perhaps it can be used for travel.
We're on a mission to reduce our personal carbon footprint with small, hopefully easy, changes in our home to fight against climate change. This means we're looking for products that may be all natural, ideally zero waste, reusable or compostable -- while still being affordable!
