What it replaces & why we love it

Much like the plastic toothbrush, every dish brush ever made still exists today – which is terrifying. Your traditional dish-brush has a plastic handle and plastic bristles.

We love these alternatives because they are made of sustainably sourced and environmentally friendly raw materials which are fully compostable at the end of their life! Being a zero-waster, I have a lot of jars. These Dishy brushes make it so much easier to clean all of them, and it’s also perfect for cleaning my reusable coffee cup!

Materials

• Beechwood - made through a FSC certified manufacturer with sustainability in mind
• Natural bristles - the dorsal bristles of a species of bristle pigs, sourced from China. Light coloured or black “wild boar bristles”, the longer the bristles the tougher they are.

Care

Allow brush to dry after each use, do not leave soaking in water.  Not suited for the dishwasher.

End of life

This brush is well made so should last you a long time if you look after it. At the end of its life, you can look at ways to repurpose it, including removing the bristles and reusing the handle for something else.

If no longer usable removed metal parts before composting and check with your local recycling facility if they accept the metal parts. As the bristles and handle is a natural material, it can be easily composted at home or in a commercial facility.

Product Packaging

These guys come with very little packaging, which we love, and are basically naked other than the paper swing tag and elastic string tying it to the product.

How they come packaged to us

These eco goodies arrive in a cardboard box and newsprint which we reuse. Apart from the tape, there is no other plastic in this parcel.
