Everist Compostable Konjac Body Sponge
Original
Plastic shower sponges can linger in a landfill for over 400 years. This sponge is 100 percent konjac plant fibre. Everist sells it for $16. Water turns the dry pad into a gel pillow.
Stevenson and Jenkins own Everist Inc. in Toronto. The sponge page never names a factory. It also never names a country for the konjac plant.
Add water, rinse with hot water, squeeze, and hang it up. Home compost comes after 2 to 3 months. The brand suggests pairing it with the body wash concentrate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the konjac sponge made in Canada?
The page does not say. Everist is a Toronto company, but this listing never names a factory for the sponge.
What is it made of?
Only konjac plant fibre. The plant is naturally alkaline, which the page credits for a mild cleanse.
How long do you keep it?
The how-to says home-compost it after 2 or 3 months, and recycle the paper wrap.
How big is it once wet?
The page prints 4 1/2 inches long, 2 1/2 inches wide and 1 1/4 inches high.
What should you avoid claiming?
A made-in-Toronto line. That FAQ sentence covers shampoo, conditioner, body wash and the body oil, not this sponge.
Who owns the brand?
Jessica Stevenson, CEO, and Jayme Jenkins, chief brand officer. The office is 110 Spadina Avenue, Suite 800.
