This week I got my second product through from EcoVibe to test, a pack of their Compostable Sponges, to add the the greener equipment round my sink. Including the Coconut Scourer, which I still love, from last time and Ecover Washing Up Liquid. I am a big believer in everyone making small changes really does make a big difference.

Once again I was super impressed by the packaging this came in, so much so that I really feel its worth mentioning again as so many, green/eco companies simply don’t think about the packaging their products comes in but EcoVibe really are excellent at this and only use entirely recyclable and where possible compostable packaging. I really wish all companies, but especially green companies, were more mindful of this…
Right on to the product itself, these sponges are very good quality, nice and thick and an excellent addition, as I say to any collection of cleaning equipment in a kitchen or bathroom.
These durable, absorbent and compostable sponges make a great alternative to traditional synthetic sponges which are made of petrochemicals.
These sponges are great on bathroom surfaces and kitchen countertops, as well as dishes and everyday spills, so they’re absolutely perfect for cleaning all around the house.
Each sponge can absorb and retain up to 10 times its own weight in water and can last through many tough cleaning jobs! They’re hygienic, durable, environmentally-friendly, reusable and fully biodegradable, made from 100% cellulose which is natural wood fibre. That means these wonderful sponges are 100% plastic-free – no microplastics!
Most common kitchen sponges are made from plastic and can’t be recycled or composted. They’re usually only used for a couple of weeks to clean the kitchen and kitchen appliances before they’re thrown away, where they’ll contribute to plastic pollution for hundreds of years before eventually breaking down into microplastics.
What’s more, mass-produced synthetic sponges are all made with petroleum, bleach, assorted sulphates and a whole slew of nasty chemicals. Even after you throw old sponges away, the bacteria-killing triclosan they’re filled with negatively affects aquatic ecosystems, especially algae that other animals depend on.
But don’t worry, these cellulose sponges are a great alternative to chemical-filled plastic sponges! These sponges are made from wood fibres which are much more eco-friendly as they go through a less toxic manufacturing process and they are biodegradable too.To help keep your cellulose sponge free of nasty bacteria, keep it as dry as possible between uses.
You can sterilize them by soaking for a few minutes in boiled water, microwave heating damp sponges or pop in the dishwasher with a drying cycle.
