Most Sustainable Laundry Detergent

If you want to save massive amounts of detergent, try Method's new 8x concentrated detergent. It might just be the greenest laundry detergent to ever hit store shelves.

By using new "Smartclean" technology, Method managed to put 8x concentrated detergent in a smaller container than traditional 2x concentrated detergent. The 25 load version of detergent comes in a 300 mL bottle--2x concentrated detergent couldn't fit in a 6 pack of 25 load bottles. In addition to taking up less space, Method says that its plant-based detergent uses 95% natural and renewable ingredients and requires 33% less energy to produce than traditional detergents. Method's impressive efforts have led to the first Cradle-to-Cradle certification for a detergent--a designation that takes into account everything from product makeup to Method's social responsibility record.
