Packaging, film and planet

That's the design: a pullulan film instead of PVA and a thin pouch instead of a jug. We'll call it plastic-free once the film spec and pouch material are confirmed in writing.^†

Yes by design: our film is pullulan, not polyvinyl alcohol. We're getting the film spec showing 0% PVA in writing.^† Why the film matters.

Polyvinyl alcohol, a synthetic polymer that dissolves in water. It's the film used in most pods and many sheets.

Some researchers question how completely it breaks down after the drain, while industry groups say it biodegrades under the right conditions. We'd rather skip the debate. Both sides.

Yes. PVOH and PVA are two abbreviations for polyvinyl alcohol.

Most pods use a PVA film. Check each brand's label to be sure.

Many do. Just 7 uses pullulan instead.^† Are laundry sheets plastic?.

It depends on the film. PVA is a synthetic polymer; pullulan comes from fermentation. Are laundry sheets plastic?.

It's designed to biodegrade. We're having the finished sheet tested to OECD 301B and will share results rather than claim it early.^†

A standard lab test that measures how much of a substance breaks down over 28 days. We're testing our finished sheet, film included.

It should be backed by a test like OECD 301B, with the conditions stated. Biodegradable explained.

We don't claim that. The sheet goes in the washer, and we haven't tested the pouch for composting.

We're choosing the pouch material now and will say how to dispose of it once it's confirmed.^†

A thin, flat pouch with no plastic window and a peel-and-seal flap. We'll name the material once it's confirmed.^†

About 6.4 x 9.6 in and about 1/8 in thick.^†

A thin, resealable pouch keeps sheets dry and ships flat.

Yes. The peel-and-seal flap keeps sheets dry between washes.

We left it out on purpose. You know what's inside: seven ingredients, 30 sheets.

Pouches ship flat in a mailer. No plastic jug.

Wash full loads in cold water, use gentler cycles and air-dry more. Microfibers guide.

They cut water weight and plastic jugs, but the film matters. Honest look.

Sheets and pods skip shipping water; liquid uses more packaging. Environmental comparison.

To a treatment plant or septic system, depending on your home. After the drain.

Mostly from heating water and running the dryer. Carbon footprint guide.

Wash cold, run full loads, line dry, and choose low-waste detergent. 10 zero-waste swaps.

Hot water for everything, always running extra rinses, and overdosing. 7 laundry myths.

Yes. Cold washes, line drying and the right dose save money. Eco laundry on a budget.

We don't use that term. The sheet dissolves in the wash and the pouch is thin, but there is still a pouch to dispose of.

No, we don't make that claim.

We don't make that claim.

Liquid detergent is mostly water, shipped in heavy plastic. A sheet skips both.

Lighter, flatter products take less fuel and space to ship. We haven't measured our own footprint yet, so we don't quote numbers.

Yes. Results for cold-water dissolving and OECD 301B go on our claims page as they come in.

Because it's accurate. We tell you what Just 7 is designed to do until tests prove it.

Every claim marked ^†, with what we're waiting on: documents, tests or a legal read. See it.

We're testing the whole finished sheet, film included, to OECD 301B, and will share the result.^†

It's designed to dissolve in the wash.^† Overloading the drum is the usual cause of leftover bits.

We'll confirm the mailer material and how to dispose of it before launch.

We'll put disposal instructions on the pouch once the material is confirmed.

Not at launch. Subscribe and save sends a fresh pouch on your schedule.

It skips the jug and the water weight. We'll publish a full comparison only when we have data to back it.

They avoid plastic jugs. Whether the film counts as plastic depends on what it's made of; ours is pullulan.

We don't make a renewable-ingredients claim. We list every ingredient on the ingredients page.

No, we don't offset or make carbon claims at launch.

We chose a thin resealable pouch to keep sheets dry. We'll confirm its material before launch.

Use it in a wash. It's designed to dissolve.

Cold water cuts heating costs, and Just 7 is designed for cold washes.^†
