LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Ripl Efek, the eco-conscious LA-based brand revolutionizing the laundry industry, has won the Editor's Choice Sustainability Award for its innovative refillable laundry detergent dispenser and plastic-free refill system. This groundbreaking product not only challenges the conventional wastefulness of the laundry aisle but also redefines how we care for our clothes and our planet.

At a time when global scrutiny of waste has never been higher, Ripl Efek's award-winning design offers a refreshing and sustainable alternative to single-use plastic bottles. With sleek, refillable aluminum cans that perfectly fit the dispenser, Ripl Efek eliminates plastic from the equation entirely—helping to reduce waste and preserve the integrity of the detergent inside.

"Ripl Efek isn't just a product—it's a movement," said Shawnique Alexander, founder of Ripl Efek. "We believe every small, mindful choice, like choosing a plastic-free detergent, can create a ripple of positive change for both people and the planet. Our mission is to make doing laundry a conscious, even meditative experience that nurtures the skin and soul."
