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?

Have you heard of dishwasher sheets? There's a few companies making them now, these are the Australian brand I use sheets

I have seen the washing machine sheets, of basically dried soap.

Seems like an interesting idea for dishwashers.

These are meant to be even safe for septic tanks! They do dishwasher sheets too!
