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.

Plant Based Resin
Plant Based Resins are used as an alternative to fully-synthetic plastics. Instead of using Petroleum as the main base ingredient to form plastic, some companies have started replacing a portion of the ingredients with plant and vegetable extracts. This lowers the amount of resources extracted to create purely synthetic products, and often provides a use for agricultural byproducts such as corn or flax. Some plant based resins are made from 100% plant materials, and can be composted in industrial facilities. EarthHero recommends checking with your local compost facility to determine which items are safe to compost.

Hi Mandy — these scrubbers are made with walnut shells and recycled plastic, therefor they are not able to be composted. Thanks for asking!

Hi Sara,
Those sponges do come in plastic packaging, but we are actively seeking out other options that will use biodegradable or other packaging options! For now, you might be interested in our other cleaning products, such as this dish brush or this small brush that comes in a ceramic soap dish. Great question!
