?Essia UK Plant Based Biodegradable Sponges? We are a small family run company based in ESSEX providing ECO friendly and biodegradable products for both households and businesses Did you know the sponge you are using to wash your dishes every day contains microplastic? They are made from materials like polyester and nylon which are none recyclable and fall off on almost every wash, washing straight down our drains into our water systems. These microplastics then stay in the ocean forever, either being digested by marine life or making its way onto corals or the sea floor. How often do you change your kitchen sponge – once, twice a week? Imagine that being repeated millions of times each week around the world. When sponges are thrown in the trash, they can take up to 52,000 years to biodegrade in landfills. In an attempt to kill at least some microbes, the supposedly antibacterial sponges most of us use today also come loaded with toxic chemicals like the pesticide triclosan, which is believed to destroy aquatic ecosystems, especially algae and coral. In humans, triclosan has been linked to cancer, developmental problems, and skin irritation. It’s worth noting that the FDA recently banned Triclosan from being used in antibacterial soaps and body wash because it poses too many health risks, including an increased risk for heart disease and impaired muscle function. ?Help us go down Nature’s Pathway by reducing the amount of plastic we use.
