Dropps laundry detergent

Dropps is a pioneering American brand in the sustainable home care industry, famously credited with inventing the first liquid laundry detergent pod in 2005. The brand's roots date back to the 1980s when founders Jonathan Propper and his mother, Lenore Propper Schwartz, established the Conshohocken Cotton Company. Finding that standard detergents were too harsh for their soft cotton sweaters, they developed a biodegradable, low-sudsing formula specifically designed to protect delicate fibers.

Today, Dropps is recognized as a leader in eco-friendly cleaning, specializing in concentrated, plastic-free detergent pods for laundry and dishwashing. The company is a Certified B Corporation and has been awarded the EPA's Safer Choice Partner of the Year multiple times for its commitment to safe ingredients and reduced environmental impact. Their manufacturing is primarily concentrated in North America, with significant production facilities located in Chicago, Illinois. Since 2020, the brand has been backed by significant investment from the UK-based firm The Craftory, while remaining headquartered in Philadelphia.
