We understand your irritation and disappointment about the film/foil on our new tabs, and we’d like to explain in detail — transparency matters a lot to us here.
First of all, let us clarify: we now have two types of dishwasher tabs in our range. The “All-in-One” tabs you mentioned are a new addition and do not replace our trusted “Naked Tabs” — i.e. the classic tabs that even Stiftung Warentest judged best in tests.
Many of our customers asked for a practical all‑in‑one solution. To meet this need and offer a wider product variety for different requirements, we developed the All‑in‑One tabs.
What’s the difference?
Our Classic Tabs still require you to add salt and rinse aid in the dishwasher, whereas the All‑in‑One tabs already include both. This development thus combines all functions in one tab — something many users find especially convenient. Of course you can still use our Classic Tabs, completely without any foil/covering.
So why a wrapper/film?
This combination of detergent, salt, and rinse‑aid formula is currently not producible without a covering (“wrapper/film”) that maintains its integrity. In its current composition, the tab would not work properly without it. That said, in order to offer as sustainable a solution as possible, the film/foil of the All‑in‑One tabs is at least 80% bio‑based, i.e. from plant sources. The remaining 20% are petrochemical based, but they too dissolve fully — leaving no residue. So this is a significantly more sustainable alternative compared to the current market standard.
We’ve always emphasized that we want to avoid unnecessary materials — that’s our “Reduce” principle in terms of circular economy. With our Classic Tabs we’ve been proud to show that we can get along without foil — and they are, according to Stiftung Warentest, the best Classic Tabs in Germany both in performance and sustainability.
If you still prefer a foil‑free solution, we strongly recommend our Classic Tabs (“Naked Tabs”) or our dishwasher powder.
One more note: the pink color of the packaging is purely a design choice and has no effect on the product formula.
We really appreciate your commitment to sustainability and are constantly working on the best and most environmentally friendly solutions for you.
