Polyvinyl Alcohol: PVA is a biodegradable polymer, and it is neither a plastic or microplastic. It degrades through hydrolysis and oxidation processes facilitated by enzymes and microorganisms in the environment. Our detergent formula uses medical-grade PVA, the same quality found in contact lens solutions, which differs from other grades of PVA. Our detergent proudly holds OECD 301B Certification, meaning it has been third-party tested and proven to readily biodegrade by more than 72% within 28 days

We label our product as 'eco-friendly' for a few important reasons:  

1. Change is Nature detergent sheets are packaged in paper and are printed with veggie-based inks. Our packaging eliminates the need for a bulky plastic jug which is what most traditional laundry detergent brands use for packaging. Consumers aren’t often aware of this, but in Canada, plastic jugs labelled as ‘recyclable’, often end up in landfills or are incinerated which causes environmental pollution. Our product packaging prevents this problem from ever happening.

2. Change is Nature's product formula contains no harmful chemicals and instead uses plant-based ingredients like coconut oil to help preserve our product. In comparison, traditional laundry detergents use chemical preservatives like formaldehyde and phosphates which have been proven as harmful to human and environmental health.

3. We majorly reduce fossil fuel consumption and emissions while shipping our products due to their incredible lightweight. A single package of Change is Nature weighs approximately 110 grams, and the average, traditional laundry detergent bottle weighs 4 pounds or much more (depending on size). Because our product is a much lighter weight than traditional laundry detergents, we aren’t producing nearly as many fuel emissions to ship it.

Overall, we follow a progress-over-perfection approach and ethos to living an earth-friendly lifestyle and we encourage our customers to do the same. Ultimately, purchasing Change is Nature's products is better for human and environmental health, when compared to the traditional laundry detergent products that currently dominate the market. When we know better, we can choose better, which is what we're helping our customers to do with our goods.

In order to offer an affordable and earth-friendly laundry detergent to our customers, we've partnered with a production facility that is based in Asia. They hold certifications from:
