Because of the following reasons: br>br>At first, I gave them a four-star rating because I thought they had all of the "natural components. " After doing some more research, I discovered that this is greenwashing, and the scrubbing side isn't entirely made of coconut fibers and contains synthetics. This has left me very disappointed. I thought I'd be able to compost this sponge in its entirety, but I won't be able to. Instead, I've gone ahead and purchased a different type for the future. The sponge is decent and holds up well, in my opinion. I just wish the packaging was more transparent (it's also made of malleable plastic that can't be recycled). PS: Even if it WAS ALL natural, it would not decompose if thrown away. People must comprehend how landfills operate (or, more accurately, do not operate on organic matter)! br>br>After speaking with 3M about their SCRUBBING sponges directly, they stated that the SPONGE portion is natural and made of cellulose and paper. The SCRUBBER part contains 50% agave along 50% NYLON/POLYESTER. These sponges, as well as the scrubber-only sponge, cannot be composted "as is. " You can compost the sponge portion and landfill the scrubber part if you can separate the scrubber from the sponge (which I tried and failed to do).
Plastic that can be recycled is embossed with a slew of deceptive eco-labels. spin on the marketing This product is a disappointment for those who are environmentally conscious. br>br>Revised- I went back and looked at the package photos I took during the initial review. Nothing on the outside of the package stated that it was recyclable. Is there a new development on the company's part? If I'm in the store, I'll check it out again, but I'm not going to buy it online without seeing it first.
To be honest, I had no idea there was a problem with regular sponges until I read an article that stated that the majority of them contain plastic and do not biodegrade. degrade. "Be the change you wish to see" is a phrase that I believe in. So I bought them and was pleased with myself. When compared to Scotch-Irish whiskies, I'd say the brite blue sponges are comparable in the first few uses. The greener version, on the other hand, is not as long-lasting as the blue versions. I can get a month's worth of use out of a blue sponge, sometimes even longer. The Green version lasted slightly longer than two weeks. I want to like these because of their environmental friendliness, but I don't like how quickly they break down, which means I'll be throwing away a lot more sponges than I would with regular sponges. I'm not sure which is more "environmentally friendly" at this point. "welcoming. ".
These are misleading; they are not suitable for scrubbing and are not compostable, as I had hoped. It's just a gimmick for the sake of marketing. They colored it to make it look natural, but it's still a sponge made from a small percentage of natural material (which makes it a bad scrubber).
Brite natural scrubber sponges have been a favorite of mine for years (ever since I first came across them in a grocery store). Regular sponges are something I despise because they add to our landfill waste. The fact that these sponges are made of all-natural materials is, in my opinion, the best selling point. natural materials that 100% are biodegradable - entirely made of plants So when I'm done with them, I can just throw them in the compost pile. They also last a long time (almost as long as the cheap plastic ones - br>br> or even more time) Switch to these all-natural products for the sake of yourself and the environment. sponges made of natural materials.
These sponges are fantastic; I'm a big fan of them. 4-purchased I used to buy 6-packs at the grocery store, but I recently discovered that I can get them on Amazon for a fraction of the price. For only $1 more, you can get a 6-pack instead of a 4-pack. They last a long time if you wring them out thoroughly after each use and air or line dry them, but they do produce a odor over time - When they start to smell, I wash them in the machine in a laundry bag with towels, but only a couple of times - After that, they become bathroom or mess sponges, which are discarded once the job is completed. They live a long time for us. Food can become lodged in the scrubbers if they are not cleaned on a regular basis.
Cleaning in a non-toxic way is a breeze with this product. in an obnoxious way.
These 3M sponges are made of recycled material and are partially biodegradable. Non-stretch fabric Scratch Scrub Sponge scrubber made of 50% agave plant and 50% polyester The sponge is made of 77% cellulose and 23% recycled office paper. Due to the polyester, the scrubber is not biodegradable. br>Once that is said, these sponges are doing a decent job of dishwashing. I wash my dishes by hand because I don't want to waste a dishwasher cycle on small items, and the sponges have held up well under normal use so far. br>I say "normal use" because my cat has developed a taste for using one as a chew toy that gets chewed up and spat out. Unfortunately, only the scrubber part appears to be resistant in those situations. The fact that she hasn't gotten sick since she started doing this, and that the sponge is mostly biodegradable, gives me some comfort. br>br>To sum it up: br>In everyday situations: 4 stars.
