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.
