  "whyPlastic": "Laundry is where \"eco\" gets printed on the most plastic. Detergent sheets, strips and pods are polyvinyl alcohol film, which dissolves and is still plastic. Wool dryer balls can be wound around a polyester core. A mesh wash bag is nylon or polyester, with a plastic zip or drawcord. Pegs are plain when they are one piece of wood or wood with a steel spring, and anything else needs a look. Powder and bar detergent in a cardboard box can come with an inner liner bag and a plastic scoop.",
  "whatToCheck": [
    "Detergent: powder or bar in a paper box, or sheets, strips and pods of PVA film?",
    "The box: paper and card all through, or an inner liner bag and a plastic scoop?",
    "Dryer balls: solid wool all through, or wound around a polyester core?",
    "Bags: cotton or linen, or mesh of nylon or polyester?",
    "Drawcords and zips: cotton and metal, or plastic?",
    "Pegs: one piece of wood or wood with a steel spring, or plastic or plastic-coated?"
