I can't find laundry detergent in powdered form. [View all]

Liquid or pods.

Why? I could measure then combine the detergent with powdered color-safe bleach, put it in a pint plastic container and go to the laundromat. And have 20 of them ready to go. Plus the container for the detergent was cardboard, easy to recycle.

Someone please explain to me why?
