Run out of foaming hand soap?
Think again before tossing the empty plastic bottle into your recycle bin.
Only 9% of the empty plastic bottles we put in our blue bin for recycling—actually gets recycled.
Recycling costs too much and takes too long. So off to landfill goes ~2.5 BILLION plastic cleaner bottles. EVERY YEAR!
NOW’s the time to switch to zero-plastic, just-add-water cleaning products.
Pods or tablets? You decide!
Reason 1
Podz Make MORE
1 pod = 750mL to 1L of cleaning solution
Tabs Make LESS
1 tablet = 600mL of cleaning solution
Reason 2
Podz = Powerful Cleaner
The pod's active ingredients (emulsifiers, surfactants, degreasers) make up 100% of the pod
• Dissolves Fast
• Powerful
• Used By Professionals
Tabs = DIY Cleaner
Only 3/13 of a well-known tablet’s ingredients are active. The rest (10/13) makes sure the tablet doesn't crumble & dissolves in H20
• Dissolves Slower
• Watery
• Weak
Reason 3
Podz = Green Seal Certified
Our cleaners are certified to be non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, 100% biodegradable, cruelty-free & safe for aquatic life
• Planet-Friendly Chemical Solutions
• Plastic-Free Packaging
• Performance Certified
Tabs = NOT Certified
Tablets have good health & environmental characteristics vs retail cleaners. However, most don’t have what it takes to be Green Seal Certified:
• Foil-Lined Packaging
• Not Performance Certified
Reason 4
Podz = ZERO Plastic
The pods’ casing is made out of Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) which completely dissolves in water
• A recent scientific study proves that PVA does NOT meet the definition of micro-plastics. Read the full report.
Tabs = Foil-Lined Wrappers
Tablets are often packaged in plastic pouches or foil-lined wrappers claiming to be compostable
• There are no CDN Municipal Waste Centres with facilities to compost these materials
Reason 5
Podz = REDUCE, REUSE, REFILL
We’re all about empowering Canadians to REUSE/REFILL their existing empty plastic bottles
Tabs = ⬆️ Plastic Bottles
Some tablet companies push EVEN MORE designer plastic bottles to be refilled with their product.
Reason 6
Podz = 🇨🇦
The Hope family is Canadian. Just 5 of us. Every day, we head into our parents’ basement to hand-pack your Podz into tiny, recyclable boxes. We avoid factory-packed wrappers because they get diverted to landfill 90% of the time
• CDN$ + HST
• Canada Post Lettermail
Tabs = 🇺🇸 🇨🇳
Tablet companies often ship their 1st orders WITH 3 designer plastic bottles. This REALLY increases carbon footprint. Especially when plastic bottles are made in China, shipped to the US, then exported into Canada (along with the tablets)
• US$ + Duties
• Barge, Plane, Train, Freight
We’re the only refill that doesn’t come with or in a plastic bottle or wrapper. Cleans great too!
