Natural Okra Eco-Scrubby

WHAT DOES IT REPLACE?
Microfiber and other synthetic sponges and scrubbers. Here's an excerpt from DuraFresh®:

Every time we use a synthetic, especially in a cleaning application, the plastic filaments mechanically break down. However, those micro-particles do not biodegrade. After decades of living in a “plastic” era, we are just beginning to realize that this manmade micro-waste has been infiltrating every aspect of our living. According to UC Davis researchers, the stomach contents of nearly a quarter of the fish sold at a California fish market were carrying some sort of un-natural material, with more than three quarters of that being a buildup of plastic. Sea life, wild life and humans are ingesting this material at increasing rates, with only more time to tell what the net effect has been, or will be…  Until then, we are reminded that there is always a better, smarter and more responsible choice.  In today’s information age, we can quickly discover thoughtful products which accomplish all of the fundamental goals of promoting healthier living for an improved eco-sustainable future.
