Lloyd Atkin, managing director at Bio-D, said: “Having the Which? Eco Buy endorsement not only verifies the efficacy of our dishwasher tablets, it also highlights the environmental standards that are part of who we are as a brand. Having this highlighted gives shoppers the confidence to know that what they are buying not only works, but it’s doing good too.”
Branded Dishwasher Tablets, they form part of Bio-D’s zero-waste product range and use 100 per cent recyclable cardboard packaging and biodegradable water-soluble wrappers.
Each tablet is also just 12g in weight, meaning carbon emission savings in both production and transport compared to traditional 20g alternatives.

It means for every five trucks of 20g tablets, Bio-D only needs three, as 40 per cent more boxes can be transported. into transportation lorries compared to other average sized offerings.
