Bio-D’s New Washing Powder Packaging: Same Trusted Formula, Now Even Greener

At Bio-D, we’re always looking for ways to improve , not just in how our products perform, but in how we impact the planet. From our plant-based, cruelty-free ingredients to our partnerships with responsible suppliers, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.

That’s why we’re excited to unveil the latest improvement to our popular Washing Powder range: a refreshed packaging design that’s lighter, more efficient, and better for the environment, without compromising the gentle, effective clean our customers rely on.

Packaging With Purpose

We know that packaging plays a significant role in a product’s environmental footprint, which is why our team has been hard at work behind the scenes refining our 1kg and 2kg Washing Powder packs.

• Our new 1kg Washing Powder bag now uses 4% less packaging than our previous version.
• Even better, our updated 2kg bag now uses up to 14% less packaging, helping reduce waste across thousands of households in the UK.

These changes may seem small, but they add up to a significant impact across our supply chain and ultimately, on the planet.

“Packaging is a key area of focus in our sustainability journey,” says Heather Nixon, Bio-D’s Sustainability Manager. “Reducing material use is one of the most effective ways we can lower our carbon footprint. These updates help us take another step towards our goal of minimising environmental impact at every stage of a product’s life.”

Still the Same Trusted Formula

While the packaging may be changing, what’s inside remains exactly the same: a powerful, plant-based Washing Powder that’s tough on stains but gentle on skin and the environment.

Like all Bio-D products, our Washing Powder is:

• Vegan and cruelty-free
• Fragrance free and suitable for sensitive skin
• Allergy UK approved, offering peace of mind for households with skin sensitivities or allergies
• Safe for septic tanks and suitable for use in both hard and soft water areas
• Made in the UK using sustainably sourced ingredients

Whether you’re washing school uniforms, baby clothes, or your favourite shirt, our formula works effectively at low temperatures and rinses clean, leaving no unnecessary residues.

Allergy UK Approved: What That Means for You

Our Washing Powder has long been approved by Allergy UK, a trusted certification that verifies our product is suitable for people with sensitive skin and those living with allergies.

This recognition isn’t just a nice to have, it’s a vital part of our commitment to creating household products that are safe for everyone in the family. It means we’ve gone the extra mile to ensure our Washing Powder avoids ingredients that commonly trigger skin irritation or reactions.

“We’re proud to have our Washing Powder certified by Allergy UK,” says Lloyd Atkin, Bio-D’s Managing Director. “It’s a reflection of our core belief that effective cleaning shouldn’t come at the cost of health or environmental safety. We’re constantly evolving to ensure our products meet the highest standards of sustainability and care.”

Why Less Packaging Matters

Reducing packaging isn’t just about using fewer materials, it’s also about creating a more efficient, sustainable system overall. Here’s how:

• Lower carbon emissions: Lighter packaging means less weight during transportation, which helps cut CO₂ emissions across our supply chain.
• Less waste: Using less material means fewer resources are extracted from the environment, and there’s less waste at the end of a product’s life.

These updates also support our broader goals around circular design and responsible manufacturing, both of which are outlined in our publicly available Sustainability Strategy.

Our Ongoing Sustainability Commitment

At Bio-D, we believe that even the smallest improvements can make a big difference, especially when they’re part of a long term, planet-first commitment. The refresh of our Washing Powder packaging is one step in an ongoing process, and we’re excited to continue innovating in every part of our business.

We also believe in transparency and accountability. That’s why we’ll continue sharing our progress and inviting our customers to be part of our sustainability journey, because it’s only together that we can make a meaningful difference.

If you’re already a Bio-D customer, we hope you’ll love the new look of our Washing Powder. If you’re new to the brand, there’s never been a better time to make the switch to a product that’s kind to your skin, your clothes, and the planet.
