Choosing the right sponge

That's it, you would like to switch to washable sponges to reduce your waste and therefore your ecological impact on the planet. Bravo !! 

But which sponge to choose?

All the sponges made by Zappy Penguin are padded with biodegradable vegetable foam composed of soda, linen and wood residues. It is treated by salinization (with salt) to increase its lifespan and prevent mold. This foam from a French company is made without chemicals. 

And then the exterior?

You have the choice between different carefully selected fabrics, certified oekotex or organic GOTS. 

  • Organic cotton net : this fabric, certified GOTS, gives the sponge a scraping side. It is completely biodegradable. Its lifespan is 2 to 4 months, depending on use. Available in ecru color. The most ecological option 🌿  Ideal for dishes, countertops, bathroom, body, etc.
  • fishnet : this fabric made of polyester gives the sponge a scratching effect worthy of a commercial sponge. Very resistant, the sponge lasts 6 months to a year, or even more! Available in black, anthracite gray and mouse gray. 
    The most sustainable option 💪
