Sustainability and Effectiveness: The Ultimate Sand Removal Brush
Creating a sustainable and ethical product
As a company, commitment to implementing sustainable and ethical practices wherever we can, our journey to create the ultimate sand removal brush has been an exciting one.
When we delved into the design of our humble little brush, we were guided by our commitment to protecting our environment. Our aim was to use the most sustainable materials possible.
The result is a beach Sand Brush that not only stands out for being eco-conscious it also boasts exceptional functionality, brushing sand from adults, kids, pets, surfboards, beach gear, even car upholstery, carpet and more!
Sustainable Materials
The brush is crafted from hard-wearing sustainably sourced rubberwood and features a beautiful combination of coconut husk and jute fiber bristles. These natural plant fibers are not only renewable but also biodegradable.
Commitment to Fair Trade
We collaborate with Import Ants, a Fair Trade certified company located in Sydney. They work with artisans in Fair Trade communities in Sri Lanka to create our Sand Brush, which is produced in accordance with the 10 Fair Trade principles and ensures a transparent supply chain with fair wages for workers.
We take pride in sourcing our Sand Brush ethically from Sri Lanka, where it's handmade by skilled artisans. When you buy fair trade products from Sri Lanka, you contribute to the well-being of these artisans and their communities in several ways:
