We are a husband and wife team local to Las Vegas, Alberto is originally from Rio, Brazil and myself, Amanda grew up in Washington state. We started this company with a collapsible straw kit, as big travelers ourselves, we wanted to create something that was convenient enough to bring everywhere and begin to eliminate single-use plastic in our daily lives. For a lot of people, it starts with a straw (our kit also includes a spork!) and we LOVE working craft fairs, markets and events to get the opportunity to talk face to face with people about the importance of making simple swaps everyday and reduce our impact on the environment. It affects all of us.
We have expanded to include a large array of products (and we are growing!!) that simplify our lives and reduce plastic waste— especially with products we use everyday.
We are not experts at plastic-free & sustainable living and face the same challenges that everyone else does, but we are SO incredibly passionate about our Mother Earth, learning more, and educating those around us. We live the lifestyle as best we can and we are learning everyday. We donate to ocean conservation and other environmental organizations too- Let’s make some real change together!
All of our shipments are shipped plastic-free!

I didn't actually need to buy these as the first ones are still working well, I just wanted to make sure I had them. They are really good quality unlike the plastic brushes that last a week. Very happy with these great quality and a good price plus no plastic which is a bonus for me.
Bought these to replace a similar head on the washing up brush my husband has ground completely down. These were even better than the one I was replacing! Should I need more I will definitely be purchasing these. Btw these eco washing up brushes are much more efficient than the synthetic/plastic versions. Highly recommended.
We tried all sorts of eco friendly dish scrubbers, this was the best. The others either didn't clean or they fell apart within two weeks. Tip - put soap directly on the scrubber instead of your plates.
This is the best value replacement head and best quality one I have tried. My search is over now over, the Kitchen is now plastic free. Now the bathrooms.
I got these without the handle to use as a scrubbing brush and they work wonderfully. Very nice natural little brush.
These are much more hygienic than sponges because they harbour less bacteria as the bristles are easy to rinse and they can go in the dishwasher for a thorough clean. They also do a good job of scrubbing pots and pans.
So delighted to find this good ‘old-fashioned’ piece of equipment available. It does the job brilliantly and is 100% plastic-free. Hooray!
When you first look at this brush it looks flimsy and feeble. Do not be put off as this is without doubt the best washing up brush you can buy . Cannot praise it enough.
These are perfect for me. Quick delivery, too! Recommend, and would buy again.
Very good quality.Very easy to replace
Good value for money.
