# Liquidless Laundry Detergents ECOSNext is a Lightweight, Compact & Waste-Reducing Laundry Square By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-02-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laundry-detergents References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ecos-introduces-ecosnext-revolutionary-liquidless-laundry-detergent-301009433.html) & [ecos](https://ecos.com) At Natural Products Expo West, ECOS will be showcasing its innovative ECOSNext, a liquidless product that sets itself apart from other laundry detergents. The product takes the form of a lightweight laundry square that's free from both liquids and powders. Instead, the hypoallergenic and pH-neutral product from ECOS is made with concentrated active ingredients, so that it can deliver a washing experience that's mess-free yet powerful. Using the no-waste solution in a washing machine is just like adding a dryer sheet to a dryer, except that each square dissolves entirely at any water temperatures. Thanks to its unique, travel-friendly format, the squares can even be cut into smaller sizes to adjust to smaller laundry loads as needed. Additionally, the compact, paperboard packaging system is 100% recyclable.
