Proofed Laundry Sheets: Zero PVA, Zero Microplastics—Here’s Why That Matters
In the world of eco-friendly laundry, many brands claim to be “plastic-free.” But here’s the dirty little secret: most laundry detergent sheets on the market contain polyvinyl alcohol (PVA or PVOH), a petroleum-derived plastic that doesn’t fully biodegrade in real-world conditions. That’s where Proofed! stands apart.
What Is PVA and Why Is It a Problem?
Polyvinyl alcohol is a synthetic polymer used in everything from laundry pods to textile coatings. While it’s technically “water-soluble,” studies show that over 75% of PVA from U.S. wastewater ends up in the environment where it can fragment into microplastics.
And microplastics? They’re not just an ocean issue. They’ve been found in our drinking water, soil, food supply, and even human blood.
Proofed! Is the Only Detergent Sheet Without PVA
Unlike other laundry sheets that hide behind greenwashing, Proofed! is 100% free of PVA, dyes, and synthetic plastic binders. Instead, we use a patent-pending plant-starch delivery system called NanoPress™ that dissolves in under 60 seconds even in cold water.
- No polymers
- No microplastic residue
- No compromises
How to Tell If Your Sheets Are Greenwashed
Flip the packaging. If it says “polyvinyl alcohol,” “PVOH,” or even just “biodegradable film,” chances are, it’s plastic. Proofed! is one of the only brands that discloses its entire formulation and we’re proud of what’s not in it.
Why Microplastic-Free Laundry Matters
Your clothes touch your skin all day. The last thing you want is a film of plastic residue from your detergent. With Proofed!, you get:
- A cleaner clean
- No synthetic coating
- A safer wash for sensitive skin and waterways
