Why does Planet use plastic measuring scoops? And why must there be a scoop inside of every single Ultra Powdered Laundry box?
The fast and simple answer is that although a plastic scoop doesn’t seem to be the most environmentally friendly option and neither does inserting a scoop inside of every single box, in our situation, the decision to do such things that way likely is the most environmentally friendly solution. As far as powdered laundry measuring devices go, there really are only two choices available in the marketplace today — plastic scoops and paper cups. Plastic scoops are by far the mostly common and readily available. The advantages of plastic scoops are that they are durable and re-usable, and they solve the very common problem of wicking that is inherent to powdered laundry detergents. (Wicking occurs when the non-ionic detergent ingredients in the powder soak into untreated paper, causing unappealing oily-looking spots. Although these spots have no effect on the performance of the detergent and do not cause similar spots on your clothing, people tend to think otherwise and will refuse to buy
