Full Circle Lucky Scrubber Copper Scourer

Recommended

A scrubber of solid copper mesh for the baked-on jobs no plant fiber can handle. Naturally antimicrobial, sheds no microplastics, and recyclable as scrap metal when it finally frays.

The verdict: Plastic-free

It's solid copper, all the way through - which is the whole point, because the "copper" scrubbers to avoid are plastic mesh with a thin copper-colored coating. Real copper sheds metal, not microplastic, is naturally antimicrobial so it resists the odor buildup of a foam sponge, and can be recycled as scrap metal at the end. Not compostable like the fiber options, but for heavy scouring it's the plastic-free tool that actually works.

  • Naturally antimicrobial; resists the smell that foam sponges develop
  • Recyclable as scrap metal
