Ecover, meet Method
November 14th, 2005
Ecover, a Belgian company, began making ecological washing and cleaning products in 1979 and is now probably the biggest player in the green cleaning market. But look out, Method is coming.
We’ve highlighted Method before for its clean and clever design, but now it’s products are adding value though convenience and potentially even more ‘green’. Instead of packaging their dishwasher tablets in plastic like Ecover, Method has a soluble ‘plastic’ wrapping. We’re looking into what they’re actually using to make it, but we imagine it’s something akin to cornstarch or rice paper.

Not only are Method’s tablet encasings better designed but check out that packaging! Beautifully done and begging for reuse.
It becomes more and more apparent that the world “going green” will only occur when products are more cleverly designed, both inside and out.
