No Tox Life Casa Agave Long Handle Dish Brush
A bamboo-handled brush with stiff agave/palmyra bristles and a replaceable head - a vegan, plant-fiber alternative to nylon, at around ten dollars.
The verdict: Plastic-free
The bristles are agave and palmyra plant fiber - no nylon - on a moso bamboo handle, with a metal wire and staples holding a replaceable head. The one caveat to flag: the bamboo handle is sealed with a water-based polyurethane varnish, a thin synthetic finish rather than a plastic component, so this isn't quite the bare-wood purism of the Redecker. But nothing plastic touches your dishes and there's no nylon, which keeps it firmly plastic-free. The head slides off the wire for composting; the metal parts are recycled.

| wire and hanging loop holds the swappable head; recycle at end of life | Stainless Steel grade unspecified | No |
A long-handled dish brush that keeps your hand out of the water, with a replaceable head so the handle keeps going after the bristles wear. The stiff agave/palmyra bristles handle everyday dishes and light scrubbing. Hang to dry by the wire loop.
