I think this might be more of a UK thing - washing powders for clothes are distinguished between biological (ie containing enzymes, which do a better job of breaking down particles, stains etc) and non-biological (which do not contain enzymes, but are gentler and less destructive to fabrics).
Are there such differences to washing powder in HK? I've taken a look through the shelves in the supermarkets, but the washing powders on offer seem to be generic, or at best they might offer colour-protective ones, but not biological/non-biological distinctions.
I need non-biological washing powder for special fabrics (gore-tex jackets, thermal underwear etc) and would appreciate any help. Thanks!

My local Wellcome (Robinson Road) offers Persil non-biological powder. It's about 3 or 4 times the price of their own brand (First Choice) normal powder though. You can also get the Ecover brand of environmentally friendly laundry products at Great and some ParknShops, but again at several times the price of normal products.

I buy Persil non-bio tablets at Taste supermarket (Festival Walk)
They also sell the Ecover brand in non-bio tablets & washing powder as suggested by PDLM.
