Leave No Mess Behind
Our mission was simple, develop a detergent that whitens and brightens as well as the household brands, but without leaving any plastic in our landfills or waterways. This meant we had to forego a commonly found material known as PVA.
PVA is a petroleum derived, DISSOLVABLE plastic used to bind 'laundry sheets' and wrap 'laundry pods'. In our research it was unclear how long it takes PVA to decompose, but according to one study out of NewCastle University (that researched ingested plastic by deep sea creatures) remnants of PVA is showing up in the bellies of sea creatures:
"The fragments identified include... polyvinyls closely resemblingpolyvinyl alcoholor polyvinylchloride -PVA and PVC."(The Economic Times)
Super Concentrated Laundry Detergent
Our solution to the PVA dilemma was to take an old technology - laundry powder - and give it a modern boost by concentrating it so that you only need one teaspoon for lighter loads, and 1 tablespoon for heavier loads. 1 tablespoon of our detergent weighs about 12g, vs. a typical liquid pod, which weighs on average 23g.
THE RESULT? LESS SHIPPING WASTE, fully biodegrable packaging without having to compromise on cleaning power.
Remove & prevent odour-causing residue - ditch the plastic!
Did you know that regular washing-machine maintenance helps to prevent buildup of nasties like soap deposits, dirt, mold & mildew? All of these can be harmful to your washing machine, clothes, and most importantly, your health. Our Washing Machine Cleaner is formulated with very low toxicity/natural ingredients that get right to work at removing and preventing odour-causing residue and build up from regular use. Plastic consumption has skyrocketed in the last 10 months, let's be leaders by showing that it's possible to stay clean AND green.
Minimal packaging - No plastic
Remove stains from your clothing, linens, shoes, carpets and tackle older stains without adding dirty plastic to our planet. etee's stain bar is easy to use as mainstream, commercial sprays without the harsh ingredients or bleach.
Our bars do not contain any animal products or byproducts which make them vegan-friendly. They're also cruelty-free, kind to nature as their ingredients won't affect the local watershed, and are conformed by simple yet powerful ingredients. Each bar is wrapped in a recyclable paper label.
ALL PACKAGED USING THE OMNIDEGRADABLE® SOLUTION
Packaging is important to us. We knew we needed something that would decompose everywhere - the Ocean, landfills and out in nature - while also protecting the product itself from the elements (water, humidity, etc). That's why we partnered up with our friends over at TEKPAK Solutions. They have paper packaging lined with a plastic that preserves, protects AND decomposes - everywhere - which is why they call it 'Omnidegradable'. Their product is engineered with the use of a completely organic additive, which in the presence of microbes, create an enzyme that breaks down the long-chain molecules of the plastic. This allows the microbes to then consume the plastic. After 10 years of testing, they can make just about any type of packaging Omnidegradable® – resealable pouches, zippered bags and even bags with off-gassing valves.
