Founded in 2010 by Sacha Dunn in her Brooklyn home, Common Good makes refillable household cleaning and personal-care products designed to cut single-use plastic without relying on harsh chemicals. The women-led company uses plant- and mineral-based formulations, including enzyme-powered laundry detergent, and has built its identity around refill packaging and a closed-loop program that sanitizes and reuses liners. Its products are made in the USA and have helped keep more than one million 16-ounce bottles out of landfills.
Package FreePackage Free makes everyday laundry and cleaning products designed to reduce waste, a mission that grew from founder Lauren Singer’s zero-waste experiment of fitting her non-compostable, non-recyclable trash into a 16-ounce mason jar. Founded in 2014, the company is especially known for its three-ingredient laundry detergent and its development of a plastic-free laundry pod made with water-soluble wood pulp and cellulose paper. Its formulas are made and packaged in the USA, including at a partner facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.BROOKLYN, NY
