What is non-bio washing powder?

Non-bio washing powder means that it doesn't break down like bio-degradable cleaning products do. This is important to know if your home has a septic tank, because over time, these powders form chunks in your septic tank that can not be passed through the tank and into your septic field. In the United Kingdom, Non-Bio washing powder means that the detergent does not contain enzymes. See the wikipedia link below for more information.
