Why waterless & compressed formats
Built to Reduce Impact Without Compromising Performance
Less Plastic
Compostable paper packaging and compressed tablet formats replace conventional plastic bottles and film across personal care and home care applications.
Less Transported Water
Powder and compressed formats ship and store dry, cutting transported water weight and freight volume compared to liquid equivalents.
Compression Technology In-House
Our own compression machinery, already running Eco Pod production, supports development into compressed tablet formats without relying on a third-party toller.
Retail & Hospitality Amenity Ready
Single-use and multi-use sachet formats suit hotel amenity programs and travel retail, alongside standard retail packaging for waterless home care lines.
Proven through Eco Pod, our proprietary powder-to-lather format, HE Manufacturing combines waterless formulation expertise with compression technology and compostable paper packaging. Part of our full home care range. See Eco Pod in our hotel wet amenities range, or read more on our sustainability commitments.
Frequently asked
Waterless & Compressed Formats, Explained
What is a powder-to-lather format?
A concentrated powder formula that activates into a full lather when combined with water, replacing a conventional liquid wash or shampoo. Our Eco Pod format runs in production today for hand wash, body wash, and shampoo applications, packaged in compostable paper made from bamboo, sugarcane, and wood fibres.
Can you manufacture compressed cleaning tablets, like laundry or dishwashing tablets?
Yes. We own compression machinery already proven through Eco Pod production, which extends into compressed and dissolvable tablet formats for laundry detergent, dishwashing, hand wash, surface cleaning, and toilet cleaning applications.
What's the difference between a laundry pod and a laundry capsule?
Our powder pods (like Eco Pod) are a compressed or sachet-packed powder that dissolves or lathers on contact with water. Laundry capsules are a distinct format, a liquid or gel dose enclosed in a water-soluble film, which we also manufacture.
How do waterless and compressed formats reduce environmental impact?
Powder and compressed formats ship and store without their eventual water content, cutting transported weight, packaging volume, and plastic use compared to liquid equivalents in bottles. Eco Pod's compostable paper packaging removes plastic from the format entirely.
Are waterless and compressed formats available for both personal care and home care?
Yes. The same powder and compression capability spans personal care (hand wash, body wash, shampoo pods) and home care (laundry, dishwashing, and surface-cleaning tablets and concentrates).
