Sustainability
The In A Nutshell Scrubber Sponge is a smart, sustainable alternative to traditional plastic-heavy sponges. It’s thoughtfully made from a blend of plant-based cellulose, recycled plastic, and crushed walnut shells—natural and recycled materials that reduce reliance on virgin plastic. Unlike conventional sponges that contribute to landfill waste and microplastic pollution, this sponge is designed to last longer and break down more responsibly at the end of its life. By choosing this scrubber, you're helping to minimize environmental impact while still getting a powerful clean in your kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions
The sponge is made from plant-based cellulose, recycled plastic, and crushed walnut shells, making it both effective and eco-friendly.
While the scrubber contains walnut shells, the manufacturer notes that the risk of allergic reaction is minimal. However, individuals with severe nut allergies should consult a medical professional before use.
It’s best to avoid using the walnut shell scrub side on non-stick or delicate surfaces, as it may cause scratching. The cellulose side is gentler and better suited for those surfaces.
Rinse thoroughly after each use and hand wash as needed. Let it air dry in a well-ventilated area to extend its lifespan.
While the cellulose portion is compostable, the sponge as a whole contains recycled plastic and walnut shell materials, so it’s not fully compostable. However, it is a lower-waste alternative to fully synthetic sponges.
