Dead fish every time.

Same here, live fish wriggle too much in the stomach.

Always always clean off your dishes in running cold water don't let them dry with detergent bubbles on them .........It can cause mental health problems like wanting to remain in the EU, deifying Corbin or believing Labour politicians !

Are you assuming that other washing-up liquids are not bio-degradable?

No of course not but I believe Ecover it the most well known and generally available.

 

[JohnD]

"Fairy" is the best known and Aldi is the best value.

Do you think they are not bio degradable?

Ecover just has more greenwash advertising.

Surfactants may either be produced from petrochemical sources or from vegetable oils such as coconut. Past life cycle inventory studies on vegetable-based or ‘oleo’ surfactants were shown to be better than their petrochemical equivalents in nine of the 13 impact categories. Not only this, but petrochemical surfactants were found to be slower to biodegrade and were more damaging in terms of aquatic and air toxicity, global warming, depletion of water, acidification, petrochemical oxidant formation and consumption of energy sources.

However, these findings have been challenged in recent papers. A big problem is that vegetable oils derived from palm are often unsustainably produced, and have been found by certain researchers to have an even greater environment impact than traditional petro-sourcing. In fact, one of the most recent studies we are aware of suggests that PKO-FA (palm based derivative) due to varying practices in palm cultivation had higher impacts on average for 12 out of 18 impact categories evaluated. A list of resources as well as an updated summary can be found here.
