Crafted by a Brazilian environmentalist and artist using rescued fishing nets, our eco-friendly sponge helps you give back to the planet. Each sponge ensures highly pollutant and petroleum-derived materials stay out of our oceans, preventing harm to marine life.
Hand-sewn by women in Santa Catarina ( South of Brazil), this planet-friendly cleaning alternative even supports low-income communities. With unmatched durability, the sponge can be used again and again – for up to two years of use.
80% of ocean pollution is plastic; a significant part of this number comes from the fishing industry. It’s time to combat ocean pollution and support the circular economy with Boavista Circular’s future-forward solutions.
These sponges are an excellent replacement for the common sponges that need to be replaced every three months and can't be recycled. It is a multi-purpose product, that can be used for all household duties. Including heavy cleaning, for example, Barbecue grills, Tiles, Windows, Shoes, and more.

FAQ
1. Is the sponge plastic-free? -No, the sponge is made from polyamide/nylon, a plastic material.
2. The fishing net sponge doesn't smell like fish? -No, after the nets are rescued, they go through an intense cleaning process, drying them in the sun, and only after all the smell is gone do they start working with the material.
3. Is the sponge biodegradable? - No, this material is not biodegradable.
4. Can the fishnet be recycled? -Nylon can be recycled, but unique recycling systems can separate this product.
So we recommend always throwing the sponges into containers for plastic.
5. Does it emit microplastics? -There are different studies on microplastic releases, most of these studies show that the fishing nets abandoned in the ocean have a more significant potential for breakdown, which will realize microplastics in the sea. Turning this waste into sponges reduces this problem and stops it from damaging and killing marine life.

I love this sponge so much, it works really well, and unlike standard sponge it does not get old after you've used it for few weeks, it stays in the same condition. the big plus for me is that you can clean it in the dishwasher, so good!
