From dishes to drains to dirty litter boxes, this plant-based sponge can tackle it all. Made without plastic for a grippable, corner-friendly cleaner, it takes on nastiness without adding any to the planet.
Sustainable goodness
Sqwishful partners with environmentally-mindful producers to craft a long-lasting, compostable sponge made from plants.
How it does good
Wiping out BPA and plastic waste
Research shows that, when it comes to bacteria, kitchen sponges are the germiest things in our houses, even dirtier than toilets. It’s no wonder that trillions of sponges are tossed every year, but, when they’re made of plastic and end up in landfills, this can be a big problem for the environment. Inspired to change her life by a medical diagnosis and the revelation that women with PCOS have greater amounts of BPA in their bodies, Sqwishful’s founder aspires toward helping others live their lives plastic-free. Sqwishful sponges are made from plant ingredients, not plastic, and they’re compressed and compostable for a small carbon footprint. They also use renewable resources and partner with suppliers using alternative energy sources.

responsible sourcing
You can trace Sqwishful’s sponges to sustainably-grown wood pulp from the Pacific Northwest. They source from partners committed to recycling waste and utilizing hydroelectric power. -
low carbon footprint
Sqwishful partners with producers and manufacturers who offset their carbon production by planting trees. Their dedication to recyclable, compostable products and packaging keeps waste out of landfills, and the sustainable practices used by their partners are better for long-term plant growth. -
recyclable packaging
Both their plastic-free, tree-free sugarcane packaging and plant-based sponges are home compostable (just cut the sponge up, and add it to your compost). You can also curbside recycle the wrapper, if you like.
How to use it
After use, rinse out any food stains, then squeeze and let air dry. When a little freshening up is in order, wash the sponge on the top rack of your dishwasher, or boil in water for 5 minutes.
When you're done...
Good news! The paper packaging and sponge are 100% home compostable, and the bag is industrially compostable. Alternatively, the paper packaging is curbside recyclable.
These are general guidelines for broadly-recyclable materials. Check with your local recycler to confirm what they take.
