How scores are calculated
Materials (40%): How plastic-free the product is — raw materials, construction, and coatings.
Packaging (20%): Is the product packaged in plastic? Is it recyclable?
Transparency (20%): Does the brand disclose ingredients, sourcing, and manufacturing?
Durability (20%): How long does it last? Longer-lasting products reduce plastic waste over time.
This is a rating of this specific product only — not the company. Other products from this brand may score differently.

Conventional cleaning products contain synthetic chemicals including quaternary ammonium compounds, synthetic fragrances (phthalates), chlorine bleach, and 2-butoxyethanol. These are absorbed through skin, inhaled as aerosols, and ingested as residues on cleaned surfaces.
Why We Rated It This Way
Seventh Generation's Free & Clear laundry detergent is EWG A-rated and fragrance-free. Laundry detergent residue remains on clothing and is absorbed through skin all day — fragrance-free, dye-free detergent is one of the most impactful swaps for reducing daily chemical exposure.
