How it works

What's in a bioGo sponge

Here's what each layer is made of, so you know where it goes when it's worn out.

  • Sponge layer: celluloseCompostable

    Plant-based cellulose that composts within 6 months.

  • Scourer: 50% coconut fibreCompostable

    Breaks down into organic matter without leaving microplastics.

  • Scourer: 50% polyesterNot compostable

    Gives the scourer its strength, but it doesn't biodegrade.

When your sponge is worn out, compost the cellulose sponge layer and put the scourer in general waste.

Our mission

Let's end single-use plastic together

Our mission is to eliminate plastic sponges from the planet. bioGo was founded in 2018 by Alex Gardner, who wanted everyday cleaning to stop leaving plastic behind.

Most kitchen sponges are made from plastic foam. Switching to a cellulose sponge is a small change that adds up, one kitchen at a time.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to what customers ask us most.

Which pack should I choose?
The 12-pack is a good place to start. The 24-pack is our best value at about £1.08 a sponge.
What are the sponges made from?
The sponge layer is plant-based cellulose. The scourer is a blend of 50% coconut fibre and 50% polyester.
Are they compostable?
The cellulose sponge layer composts within 6 months. The scourer's coconut fibre breaks down too, but its polyester doesn't biodegrade, so the scourer shouldn't go in your compost.
Are they safe for non-stick pans?
Yes. They are gentle and non-scratching, so fine for non-stick pans.
Can I put them in the dishwasher?
Yes, they are dishwasher washable.
