Switching to Detergent Refill Pouches: Cost & Sustainability Calculator

Estimate the plastic and cost savings of moving laundry and dish detergent from bottles to refill spout pouches with a simple brand calculator.

Switching to Detergent Refill Pouches: Cost & Sustainability Calculator

Refill pouches are not just greener — they are often cheaper per fill. Here is how to quantify it.

Plastic Saved

A rigid bottle can use 5–10× more plastic than the equivalent refill pouch. Multiply by annual units to get your saving.

Logistics Saved

Flat pouches pack more units per carton and pallet, cutting freight and warehouse space.

Simple Formula

Annual plastic saved ≈ (bottle weight − pouch weight) × units/year
Freight saving ≈ (cartons_bottle − cartons_pouch) × freight_rate

Where to Start

Launch a refill pouch for your top-selling detergent or dish soap, keep the bottle as the primary, and promote "refill and save."
