Using this knowledge, the products are expertly designed and manufactured in Sri Lanka and Egypt. We ensure local farmers and production workers have a happy work environment and are treated fairly with wages and benefits such as medical insurance, higher than normal hourly rates. We do not employ children. LoofCo products are vegan. Some coconut producers use monkeys to help with their harvest. LoofCo coconuts are not harvested this way and we are registered with the Vegan Society. The loofah plant is a vigorously growing plant in the cucumber family that is rich in durable fibers yet soft and flexible. When ripe, the interior of the loofah fruit develops a network of fibers perfect for cleaning and exfoliating when dried. Our loofahs are harvested, peeled, seeded, dried, cut into lengths, and hand-processed in Egypt. This processing method is a natural tradition passed down through generations. Coconut Fiber is the naturally bacteria-resistant, fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer brown husk. LoofCo uses coconut fiber, a byproduct of coconut feed and oil production that would otherwise be burned. We twist coconut fiber around a 100% recyclable, galvanized, rustproof metal core and add a metal hanging loop for easy handling and draining. Coconut fiber remains stiff when wet, retains liquids well, and gives the coconut husk extra scrubbing power. Environmental Information about the Coconut Scourer Brush. Our mission is to provide an alternative to mass-produced plastic products like dishwashing brushes, scouring pads, sponges, and other household products that are not biodegradable or made from recycled plastic. LoofCo farming practices are sustainable and meet the highest environmental standards. Coconut and loofah are both renewable resources that absorb CO2 as they grow. We also use coconut fibers and husks left over from feed and coconut oil production that would otherwise be wasted or burned. All elements of LoofCo products are 100% compostable and biodegradable, except for the metal core of the brushes, which can be recycled. Our cardboard packaging is also recyclable. 100% plastic-free. Does not leave small plastic particles in the water.
