Plastic pollution is a serious problem worldwide. According to the UN Environmental Program, 22,000 metric tons of plastic enter our waterways each day which is the equivalent of 2,000 school buses of plastic waste dumped into the oceans, rivers and lakes.
One significant contributor to this plastic plague is synthetic loofahs. Not only do they need frequent replacement due to bacterial growth, but they also disintegrate over time, releasing harmful microplastic particles into our water systems.

CleanHub’s collection partners gather plastic rubbish from waterways and fishermen’s bycatch, as well as implement waste management systems in communities to prevent plastic from entering the environment in the first place. These interventions seek to encourage communities to proactively manage their plastic waste rather than openly dumping their garbage or burning it, which also has severely detrimental effects on the environment.
One of Sud Scrub’s guiding principles is to focus on solving problems. In Raymond and Steven’s minds, building everyday products without using plastic is the starting point that is easily followed up by not using any plastic packaging. However, the real impact comes from supporting systems like CleanHub that are focused on empowering local communities to reverse the overwhelming rising tide of global plastic pollution.
