OXO Good Grips Dish Brush
The mainstream all-plastic dish brush - polypropylene handle, soft rubber grip, and nylon bristles. Well designed, but the bristles are plastic and shed microplastic as they wear.
The verdict: Mostly plastic
This is the standard-issue plastic dish brush done well: a polypropylene core with a soft Santoprene (TPE) non-slip grip and nylon bristles. The problem is the bristles - the part that does the work and wears down is nylon, a plastic that abrades against your pans and sheds microplastic just like a foam sponge. A comfortable handle doesn't change what's touching your dishes. There's no natural fiber anywhere in it.

A well-designed everyday dish brush with a comfortable non-slip handle and a scraper edge. As hardware it's genuinely good - the reason it's documented here rather than recommended is the material, covered in the verdict above.
Pros
- Comfortable, well-designed handle with a non-slip grip and scraper edge
- Durable and inexpensive
Cons
- Nylon bristles are plastic and shed microplastic as they abrade
