Introduction:
Detergent ingredients - Changes over time
Biodegradable ingredients :• Polycarboxylates – e.g. polyaspartate • Complexing agents – e.g. iminodisuccinate
Summary and Outlook

Detergent ingredients and their functions:
Surfactants removal of soil from fabrics approx. 21
Builders reduction of water hardness; support of the cleaning effects approx. 57
Bleaching oxidation of dyes and pigments max. 18agents Enzymes degradation of protein, starch and fat- approx. 1
containing soil particlesOthers optical brighteners, fragrances,
stabilisers (complexing agents)corrosion inhibitors etc.

Summary
The following proposals for substitution are made:
• Polyacrylate to be replaced by Polyaspartate
• Citrate to be replaced by Iminodisuccinate
• Phosphonate to be replaced by Iminodisuccinate
Washing processes have potential for ecological and functional optimization by using biodegradable builders and complexing agents.
