Dishwasher tablets that don't come with loads of plastic? (feddit.uk)

I'm always looking for ways to reduce my plastic waste, and manufacturer's always seem to be trying to find ways to trick me.

I normally get the Lidl dishwasher tablets as they are the only brand that appears to come plastic free, cardboard box, and tablets wrapped in a dissolvable cellulose film. However sometimes I can't get there as its not always convenient.

Latest was CoOp that sold a cardboard box of tablets, but then each tablet was bloody wrapped in plastic, which is probably worse than just a plastic bag of the bastards.

Does anyone else know of brands that are safe to buy because they won't try to trick you with hidden plastics?

I tried this recently after watching that TechnologyConnections video and it was a complete failure.

The dishes came out with this white dusty film all over them that they didn’t have with tablets.

I tried less powder, more powder, a little more powder on the open door to be in the first cycle and made sure my rinse aid was topped up.
