Where the footprint lives
Scope 3 — the supply chain: The 'Made in USA with globally sourced ingredients' suggests a complex supply chain, but the EPA certification addresses ingredient impact at the source.
Most of a product's emissions sit upstream in Scope 3 — the scope breakdown explains why that decides the score.
Smart swaps and tips
- Look for powder detergents in cardboard boxes to cut plastic entirely.
- Fragrance-free options are often best for sensitive skin and aquatic life.
