Coconut Fibre Scrub Pad – Large

Environmental Impact Score: 7.1 / 10

Sustainability Rating: Very Good

Category Scores

• Material choice — 1.6 / 2
Made from coconut fibre, a natural plant material, bound with an adhesive the supplier does not specify.

• Reusability — 1.6 / 2
Used again and again for scrubbing pots and pans, though like any scrubber it is eventually worn out and replaced.

• Durability / lifespan — 1.1 / 1.5
Coconut fibre is coarse and hard-wearing, but scrub pads wear with heavy use and the supplier does not state how long one lasts.

• Recyclability — 0.3 / 1
Used scrub pads are not accepted in kerbside recycling.

• Biodegradability / compostability — 0.5 / 1
Coconut fibre breaks down under suitable conditions, but the adhesive type is not specified, so we can't say the whole pad will.

• Renewable / recycled / lower-impact material — 0.8 / 1
Coconut fibre is a renewable plant material, though the adhesive's source is not specified.

• Replaces a wasteful product — 0.9 / 1
Replaces plastic scourers and synthetic scrub sponges, which are thrown away regularly.

• End-of-life disposal — 0.3 / 0.5
Until the adhesive is confirmed, a worn pad is best put in general waste.

Overall Assessment

A coconut-fibre scrub pad, made in Australia, that replaces plastic scourers. We've scored its biodegradability and end of life conservatively because the supplier doesn't say what adhesive binds the fibres.
