The quintessential zero waste dish brush has arrived ✨ Made with an ergonomic bamboo handle and head with sisal fiber bristles, if you prefer a bit of separation between your hands and your dirty dishes, this is the dish tool for you. When the bristles wear down too much to continue use, simply pop the head off and replace it with a fresh one, while keeping the handle for use again and again and again. It’s a classic for a reason.

Care
After using your dish brush, rinse thoroughly with warm water to remove any soap residue or food particles. Shake dry and store with the bristles down in a dry area where the brush can dry as much as possible between uses.
Do not leave submerged in water. Do not put in the dishwasher.
Packaging + End of Life
This bamboo dish brush will be completely unpackaged.
When the bristles no longer work, this dish brush head can be backyard composted and swapped out for a new one. The handle should last you many years to come, but at the end of its life, the bamboo can be backyard composted and the metal can be recycled.

🌎 You care about the planet. So do we.
Look. I get it. It’s HARD to be an EcoWarrior. Someone who cares about the planet and wants the most sustainable products available - from the ingredients to the packaging to the way that product gets to your hands.
It seems like everywhere we turn, someone, somewhere, is greenwashing us.
But our superpower at A Drop in the Ocean is sorting through the BS, calling it out, and making sure our products are the absolute most sustainable and truly zero waste products we can find.
So on top of all the things we mentioned above about what makes our zero waste bamboo dish brush so sustainable, here’s a few other things you should know:
- We’re actually practicing what we preach behind the scenes. Each year, we track and record all of our trash, and even wrote a whole blog post on it. The tl;dr version is this: on average, we produce less than 0.5 pounds of trash each month. Everything from the packaging our products come in down to the Sharpie we use to write “Fragile” on your box is zero waste to its core.

We’re an online-only zero waste store - which is highly intentional. It may seem counter-intuitive, but online shopping is actually more sustainable than in-person. I’m a data nerd at heart and I love diving into the research, and there are countless studies that have shown that online shopping is the most sustainable way to get your everyday essentials. Don’t believe me? Check out our whole blog post on the sustainability of online shopping.

We ship ugly boxes. Your order from A Drop in the Ocean is not going to arrive in a pretty, branded box. It’s gonna show up in a reused tea box, or a donated Amazon box, or maybe even an inside-out Girl Scout Cookies box. All of our shipping materials are always 100% plastic-free and reused as much as possible, with curbside-recyclable paper tape and a post-consumer recycled paper shipping label. It won’t be pretty, but it will be zero waste.
Got more questions about our zero waste products or our practices behind the scenes? Just send us an email! I’m always happy to chat all things eco.
