Paper towels are convenient to use, but they’re not eco-friendly. Since they can’t be recycled, about 6 million pounds of paper towels end up in landfills each year. Global paper towel production also requires an estimated 110 million trees and 130 billion gallons of water to produce, it is simply not the way forward.
Additionally, kitchen sponges made from polyurethane and polyester are generally not recyclable because they contain a large quantity of petroleum-based materials which makes their recycling impossible.
Our simple, smart, and pretty sponge cloths are made of 70% wood cellulose and 30% recycled cotton fiber. They are like a cross between a dishcloth and a sponge, and they can do anything a sponge can do and most of the things a paper towel can do. You can soak up spills, wash and dry the dishes, use them like coasters, and clean most surfaces without leaving any lint behind.
It is biodegradable and compostable. This means when the dishcloth reaches the end of its life span (usually 12-15 months), if disposed of properly in a recycle bin, it can decompose quickly when it reaches a landfill. In a compost environment, it is capable of disintegrating quickly leaving no toxicity in the soil.
Each sponge cloth comes with an eyelet for ease of hanging up to dry.
