Plastic Bank Partner
This brand works with Plastic Bank to measure, reduce, and offset their plastic usage by funding recycling and ocean cleanup efforts in underdeveloped communities around the world. This means that in addition to helping clean up our oceans, they’re also investing in recycling infrastructure in developing nations. A brand’s partnership with Plastic Bank involves offsetting various amounts of their plastic usage, from partial, to full (plastic neutral) or even offsetting more plastic than they produce (plastic negative).
B Corp
The B Lab is a third-party, non-profit organization that certifies companies as socially and environmentally responsible. B Corps are businesses that go above and beyond traditional business models and aim to create positive change in the world through their practices. These companies must meet rigorous transparency and accountablity standards, while doing what is best for people and the environment.
BPA Free
Products that are labeled as BPA free do not contain Bisphenol A, a chemical commonly found in plastic products. Studies on BPA exposure have shown that high levels of BPA could lead to hormone disruption, effects on behavior and brain function, reproductive problems, breast cancer, heart disease, infertility, and more.
Bamboo
As a member of the grass family, bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth. It requires no irrigation, pesticides or fertilizers to grow, and can be harvested within 3-5 years, as compared to approximately 30+ years for traditional hardwoods. Bamboo is extremely adaptable and produces more oxygen per acre than large tree species, while using a fraction of the water to grow. Its durable and lightweight qualities make bamboo a great alternative for hard wood products!
Recycled Plastic
Recycled plastic utilizes salvaged post-industrial plastic scraps and post-consumer products such as water bottles and other plastic containers, and transforms them into new products. The containers are sorted, crushed, and then heated to form resins, which are liquid plastics that can harden into new shapes. These resins can be molded and used to create anything from carpet to outdoor furniture. Recycling plastic lowers the amount of petroleum extracted and the production of greenhouse gasses associated with first-time plastic production. Plus, by using these existing materials, we’re benefiting from the original energy and resources spent to create them in the first place, while diverting waste from the landfill.

This has such a great handle. I really wish that the brush head was replaceable. When the brush wears out, I think I am going to make a fitting for the handle so I can use other brush heads on this handle.

I ordered this brush in September and it was really great until today when it broke in half out of nowhere! Not sure why it did, but was definitely hoping it would last for longer than that. Won’t be reordering this one.

Until recently I didn’t have a dishwasher and this was all I used for all my dishes. It works great at scrubbing, is ergonomic and gets all the stuff, I like that the plastic part has a flat scrape-y part to get stuck on grime. I know the handle can be taken off and composted but I wish the head was replaceable like the other dish brushes. I think the head lasted a fair amount of time and I will reorder. I have a dishwasher now so I probably won’t have to replace as often.

I know we aren’t going for aesthetics, but this wins points if we were. I hung it on a nail near my sink and have been loving the no-mess, strong bristles for scrubbing. I can’t speak to durability yet, but it seems it will last awhile.

I switched to using this dish brush instead of a sponge and I’ve liked it so far. It looks nice on the counter and it does a good job of scrubbing the dishes. The scrapper end is especially useful.
The biggest drawbacks are the size and the disposability. I can’t always get this brush into small glasses because it’s too bulky. I also really don’t like that I’m going to have to throw it away once I’m done with it. It’s clearly long lasting, and so far I’ve been using it daily for four months and it’s still in good shape, so much better than the sponges I used to use. I would like a plastic free alternative, however.
