Dishwasher tablets that don't come with loads of plastic? (feddit.uk)

I'm always looking for ways to reduce my plastic waste, and manufacturer's always seem to be trying to find ways to trick me.

I normally get the Lidl dishwasher tablets as they are the only brand that appears to come plastic free, cardboard box, and tablets wrapped in a dissolvable cellulose film. However sometimes I can't get there as its not always convenient.

Latest was CoOp that sold a cardboard box of tablets, but then each tablet was bloody wrapped in plastic, which is probably worse than just a plastic bag of the bastards.

Does anyone else know of brands that are safe to buy because they won't try to trick you with hidden plastics?

Checkout fill refill, who do powder in a big container. When it's empty, you send the big tin back to them and they refill it send it back to you.

I like that, I like that a lot.

This would have answered my last question on here about refillables.

My local refillable requires capacity to be printed on the bottle. I have no odes why they can't just weigh the container, fill it and weigh it again for an amount.

If these do, then it'll help with that too.
