Did you know?
Melamine plastic is regulated by the FDA and World Health Organization. It's commonly used in plates, bowls, cups, as a laminate surface (cabinets and countertops), coated particleboard used in shelving and cabinets, and cleaning products...including some sponges.
Did you know that over 1 trillion melamine microplastic fibers are released into waterways each month? Chemical sponges that become brittle and break apart release melamine microplastic strands that float down drains and make their way into waterways.
What are the potential consequences? Water contamination, wildlife ingestion, food chain disruption, and human health risks.
Human health risks include hormone disruption. Microplastics can carry endocrine-disrupting chemicals, potentially increasing risks of reproductive disorders and certain cancers.
Another health risk is organ damage. Studies have linked microplastic exposure to oxidative stress, inflammation, and kidney damage.
And, another health risk is tissue penetration. Microplastic fragments have been found in human placentas, suggesting they can cross biological barriers.
Researchers estimate as high as 4.9 trillion microplastic fibers are released monthly from sponge use alone according to an article in Newsweek.
Our Product
Not just affordable, the ScrubLily Eco Sponge is tough, durable, and sustainable. Made from the fibers of the exterior of the coconut, it's hard to imagine beautiful coconut palms swaying in the breeze held the secret to a natural fiber with incredible scrubbing power. Nature got it right!
On the softer side, the wood pulp cellulose is a gift from nature too. Highly absorbent (my paper towel replacer!), durable, and strong. Tougher than the cheap chemical sponges and naturally kind to leave dishes scratch-free.
Combining the tough natural fiber side with the highly absorbent softer side is the winning combination. And, because of ethical sourcing and the social cause to share good information, ScrubLily Eco Sponges are now making waves as nature's affordable alternative to chemical sponges.
