Green Llama Dishwasher Tabs
A "naked" PVA-free compressed mineral tablet in a compostable paper pouch - EWG Verified, and cheaper per load than the premium tins.
The verdict: Plastic-free
Green Llama's tab is a compressed mineral powder with no film - the brand explicitly contrasts its "naked" tabs with conventional pods "wrapped in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)" and calls the product 100% plastic-free. It's EWG Verified and ships in an industrially compostable paper pouch. Same PVA-free idea as the pricier steel-tin tablets, at a lower price - the main tradeoff is that it's a smaller brand with narrower availability.
Verification: Manufacturer confirmed
One compressed tab per load, no wrapper, sold in compostable paper pouches (e.g. 40 loads). Fragrance-free and additive-light.
Pros
- Confirmed PVA-free "naked" tab; EWG Verified
- Compostable paper packaging; inexpensive per load
Cons
- Smaller brand - less widely stocked, and not consistently on Amazon
- Minimalist formula; a rinse aid helps in hard water
