Common Household Cleaning Product Found To Release Trillions of Microplastic Fibers
Melamine sponges release trillions of microplastic fibers monthly, posing environmental risks. Making denser sponges and using alternative cleaning methods are recommended solutions.
If you’ve ever owned white shoes or attempted to scrub crayon marks off a wall, you’re probably thankful for melamine sponges. These sponges, known for their ability to effortlessly remove stubborn stains and scuffs without the need for extra cleaning agents, rely on their distinctive abrasive properties. However, these “magic” sponges shed microplastic fibers when worn down. According to a study published in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology, it’s estimated that melamine sponges contribute to the release of over a trillion microplastic fibers globally each month.
