These sponges are an excellent replacement for the common sponges that need to be replaced every three months and can't be recycled. Crafted by a Brazilian environmentalist and artist using rescued fishing nets, our eco-friendly sponge helps you give back to the planet. Each sponge ensures highly pollutant and petroleum-derived materials stay out of our oceans, preventing harm to marine life. Hand-sewn by women in Santa Catarina( South of Brazil), this planet-friendly cleaning alternative even supports low-income communities. With unmatched durability, the sponge can be used again and again – for up to two years of use. - 80% of ocean pollution is plastic; a significant part of this number comes from the fishing industry.
