Procter & Gamble announced the national launch of Tide evo, a 100% concentrated, waterless detergent tile, on February 17, 2026. The tile contains six layers of surfactants, enzymes, brighteners, odor fighters and other technologies, and activates instantly in cold water, eliminating the need for plastic bottles and pre‑treaters.
The product is packaged in a recyclable paperboard box, reducing plastic waste and transportation weight per wash load. A new production line in Alexandria, Louisiana, powered by renewable energy, supports the scale of the launch.
Tide evo was first unveiled at SXSW 2024 and is now available nationwide. The tile format aligns with consumer demand for convenience, sustainability and premium performance, and is priced at nearly double the per‑load cost of the liquid version.
"Tide evo represents over ten years of innovation and product development, and showcases Tide's journey of reinvention every decade: from soap to detergent, powder to liquid then PODs, and now, laundry tiles – the first‑of‑its‑kind in the industry and the next significant leap into the future for both the company and consumers," said Marchoe Northern, President of P&G Fabric Care. "Today marks a significant milestone for Tide, as we unveil Tide Evo at SXSW 2024, marking a new phase of innovation in laundry care," added Sundar Raman, Chief Executive Officer of P&G Fabric & Home Care. "With Tide evo we set up to deliver the most concentrated laundry detergent to deliver Tide level of cleaning in cold water with the minimum amount of weight. We have been able to deliver this, and it has also allowed us to minimize carbon footprint with recyclable FSC paper packaging, minimizing product transportation energy," noted Marcello Puddu, Research and Development Senior Director. "Our primary goal was to address evolving consumer needs and make laundry a breeze. We wanted to create a detergent that effortlessly fits into busy lives, prioritizes sustainability by eliminating water and fillers, and, most importantly, adds a touch of enjoyment to the laundry process," said Ammie Walter, Senior Brand Director of Tide evo. "There are 55 unique steps we've identified in the laundry process. Our job is to continue to think about ways to solve today's modern need challenges," remarked Marchoe Dill Northern, president of North America fabric care at P&G.
The launch is a material event for P&G, marking a new product format that could influence future sales and brand perception. The tile format is the first of its kind in the industry, positioning Tide as a leader in convenience and sustainability.
In test markets, Tide evo sales have been highly incremental to category growth, and retailer demand has exceeded initial expectations, indicating strong early consumer interest.
