details:
Packaging
Earth Rescue’s packaging for their laundry detergent sheets is 100% plastic-free. They use recyclable cardboard and soy-based inks for printing. The brand also offers three household spray cleaners (bathroom, all-purpose, and toilet bowl). These are packaged in traditional plastic bottles with no indication of the use of PCR material or recyclability.
Material Sustainability
Earth Rescue does not provide complete ingredient lists for their products. The formulations are 100% USDA-certified bio-based, but the specifics remain unclear. Their laundry detergent sheets source coconut-based ingredients, which is a low-impact crop when harvested responsibly.
Energy Use and Footprint
There is little to no publicly available data regarding energy use or carbon footprint. By virtue of producing laundry detergent sheets instead of traditional liquid detergent, Earth Rescue reduces the shipping emissions required to ship the same “amount” of product by 85%. The carbon footprint on the production side of operations remains unclear.
Waste Management
There is little to no publicly available data regarding waste management or mitigation strategies in production outside of the default reduction in waste naturally associated to replacing traditional liquid detergent with a more sustainable alternative.
Business Model
The brand’s business model is incredibly slow, as they offer just a handful of products in total. These products are evergreen with minimal (essentially zero) churn and no seasonal, trend-driven, or limited edition products.
non-toxic

7 out of 10
details:

4 out of 10
