Synthetic sponges cause microplastic pollution through abrasion, which enters the air and wastewater. Even our sewage treatment plants can’t entirely hold it back. The plastic from our households not only harms nature, but also us.With the GUPPYFRIEND Luffa Sponges you leave the fossil-fuels required to produce plastic sponges in the soil and avoid artificial fertilizers and pesticides in their cultivation. Artificial fertilizers and pesticides can also be used while growing Luffa sponges, but not with ours! In addition, to being pesticide-free, we pay attention to their origin. Local cultivation and European production are because we want to avoid solving one problem but creating another. Your antimicrobial GUPPYFRIEND Luffa Sponge is long-lasting – wash or clean with vinegar – and as a 100 % natural product, you can also quickly dispose of GUPPYFRIEND Luffa Sponges in the compost or organic waste bin.
