Instead, it knows what it needs to do once it’s tossed.

Throwing out the Bioblender doesn’t have to be a huge ordeal, either.

Just chuck it into a trash can or compost it that’s it.

The short answer is absolutely not, but let’s dive a bit deeper than that.

Each firm purple-colored sponge has the standard EcoTools shape flat-topped with two angled sides and a rounded bottom.

The Bioblender’s results were comparable to that of my favorite non-biodegradable makeup sponges.

Needless to say, I was definitely impressed.
