We’re waging war on waste. On wasted water. Wasted energy. Wasted money. And wasted space.
Because we waste space every single day. In fact, nearly 80% of us run the dishwasher before it’s full*.
So roll up your sleeves and play crockery tetris, because a full dishwasher does loads for the planet.

Our new dish tabs have stripped off their plastic wrappers and each one now sports an invisible superpower – an innovative plastic-free coating. So we can pack ‘em just as efficiently as your dishwasher should be. Even better? This means we can fit 2 extra tabs in our new compact box*.
They’re packed with cleaning power too. In fact, our new POWER tabs have 40% more enzymes for improved cleaning power.
And they’ve got salt and rinse aid built in, so all you need to do is pop the tablet in, run your dishwasher on eco mode and let our new dish tabs unleash the power of their biodegradable formula to leave your dishes squeaky clean.
*Full disclosure, we still haven’t figured out a way to remove the plastic lining from our box to prevent moisture. But we’re working on it.
Want to waste less? Follow our top tips to load your dishwasher like a pro.
Rinsing dishes under the tap before you load your dishwasher wastes water and money. Most dishwashers can pre-rinse your dishes anyway. So just scrape any leftovers into your food waste bin before you load up. Our all-in-one Power dish tabs are more than equipped to power through any tough stains to leave your dishes squeaky clean.
To ensure a better clean, stack plates facing inwards so the spray jets have a better chance of cleaning them. The water pressure is higher on the lower rack, so place anything that needs a serious clean, like greasy baking trays, down there. Avoid blocking the spray arm with bulky items and place pots and pans face down. Most importantly, don’t overload the dishwasher. Space everything out so that the water and detergent can reach every last spoon.
Avoid the rapid cycle, which is meant for small loads, and choose eco wash instead. Combined with a full load, you’ll save more water and energy this way. Our new dish tabs are specially formulated to clean on eco wash, so they’re made for this mission.
Keep your dishwasher in good shape by maintaining it carefully. Make sure your rinse aid and salt are topped up (or just use our new dish tabs, which have salt action and rise aid built in already) and regularly clean out the filter. Check the door seals and spray arms, and leave the door open occasionally to ensure air can circulate, which will help prevent mould and mildew.
Absolutely. Our new all-in-one dish tabs will get your dishes just as squeaky clean as our old ones. They’ve just stripped off for a wrapper-free makeover. And our new Power dish tabs have 40% more stain removing enzymes for even better cleaning power.
Yes. Our dish tabs have stripped off their plastic wrappers and instead sport an invisible new superpower – an innovative plastic-free coating that protects them against moisture and breakage.
Full disclosure, we still haven’t figured out a way to remove the micro-thin plastic lining from our box to prevent moisture. But we’re working on it.
Nope. Because our dish tabs are plastic free, they don’t contain PVOH. Instead, they’ve got a clever plastic-free coating to help protect them against moisture and breakage.
We use a renewable source for our revolutionary plastic-free tablet coating. So there is no PVA/PVOH or any other type of plastic going into the waterways. The formula is biodegradable and the product is carbon neutral certified. Each fully recyclable compact box has been made with 60 per cent post-consumer recycled cardboard. And last (but not least) , our tablets are neatly packed as sardines, so we waste no space by only shipping tablets.
We don’t have a vegan certification, but none of our products contain animal by-products and we don’t test on animals — not on whales, nor on water fleas. We don’t have any plans at the moment to register with The Vegan Society or apply for their Vegan Trademark but we haven’t ruled it out for the future.
All of our products are also approved as cruelty free under the Leaping Bunny program. As part of our qualification, we’re regularly audited to ensure both Ecover and our suppliers comply with the comprehensive criteria of the Standard of Compassion for Animals.

Oh yes. Our new dish tabs are specially formulated to clean on eco wash. Tried, tested and passed with flying colours.
Our first-in-category dishwasher tablets have an invisible plastic-free coating to protect the biodegradable formula that leaves your dishes squeaky clean. The new range is CarbonNeutral® Certified and Cruelty-Free International approved.
We do carefully assess the safety of all our ingredients and you can find all necessary product information, including precautions, on our labels. Our dish tabs aren’t classifed as harmful to the aquatic life according to EU and UK CLP regulation.
You won’t see us claim ‘plant-based’ as this could be considered generic and misleading. But our dishwasher tablets still contain the same thoughtfully chosen ingredients as we’ve always sworn by.
