Etsy - TheZeroWasteMaker Zero Waste Dish Sponge
Description
note: this sponge is currently only available in white thread & no net fabric you can chose to have a recycled hessian backing for a tough scrub This is a handmade sponge replacement made out of cotton & wadding. It is durable & washable & reusable. Ditch that kitchen sponge that isn't good for the environment & replace it with this stylish alternative. Fabrics I use are 100% recycled. I am a costume maker in my normal life & repurpose all sorts of scraps to make into purposeful new things & to help save the planet. So all my products are made of already existing fabrics trying to avoid over production & to promote sustainability & purpose. This is why my products will always be subject to availability & why they will vary. Luckily with this sponge, linen & wadding are fabrics costume makers use A LOT of so scraps are always there to be used. If Linen isn't available it would be substituted for natural cotton (not dyed) If you get this sponge in a pack of 2, you'll always have one at hand if the other one is in the wash. Kim from the Plastic free Pantry approached me about how to reuse her hessian coffee sacks. As she roasts coffee herself, she ends up with a lot of those bags. Now technically they are not bad for the environment, they can easily break down & return to mother earth. But the thing is, they could still have a use couldn't they? So Kim & I thought why not use them in the sponges to give a rough side for scrubs to them. Also, they come out so individually as well. No two sponges look the same. Every coffee bag looks different & has different writing on it. You can chose between recycled wadding, or organic kapok. Both of them have their advantages & disadvantages Recycled wadding: it is a material that will give you more the feeling like a shop bought sponge would. It dries quickly & works really well. The downside is that it doesn't biodegrade quickly. But it is made from recycled materials, saving it from going to landfill straight away. Organic Kapok: Is very fluffy at first. After use with water it takes longer for it to fully dry. Ideally it would be at a warm place. It also loses the fluffy feeling after some time. Being a natural material it will biodegrade quickly. Kapok is often referred to as 'plant down' or 'silk cotton'. Kapok fibres come from a seed pod harvested from the Ceiba tree. Using natural produce such as kapok helps to protect our vital ecosystem. You can always send your sponge back to me if it has become worn out. I will recycle most of it into a new usable sponge for you. For more information please contact me, I'm happy to help.
