Full Circle Eco Friendly Products Review & Giveaway - Ends 1/18 CLOSED

The Company
It’s a simple reality: our product choices are limited to what we can find on store shelves. And more often than not, products that are the most accessible aren’t always the most eco-friendly. Or good looking. That’s just the way it’s been for ages.

But the game has changed—with Full Circle’s line of stylish, functional products made from sustainable and renewable resources. Like scrub brushes with sleek, bamboo handles and sponges made from cellulose, a plant-based fiber. We’ve even made pot scrubbers that fully biodegrade! (As you can see, we’re really into this stuff.)

Important behind-the-scenes changes are happening here, too—such as improved working conditions, cleaner manufacturing methods and higher environmental standards. Even our suppliers have come around to our way of thinking. (We’re kind of persuasive that way.)

At Full Circle, we believe in constantly striving to do things better. Because while there may be a finite number of resources in the world, there’s an infinite number of ways to use them more wisely.

And figuring out how to do that is what gets us up every morning.



The Review
I received “In the Buff Dish Towels”, “Tidy Dish Cloths” & “Squeeze Cellulose Cloths” to review.



In The Buff Dish Towels
70% bamboo makes these towels naturally soft and absorbent. 30% organic cotton makes them naturally durable and comfy. And sustainable? Take a wild guess. That’s right, au naturale.

Materials: bamboo, organic cotton
Colors: green, natural, blue, earth

• Bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial and grown without pesticides
  
• Absorbent and quick-drying
  
• Super soft and durable
  
• $4.99 per towel
  

These towels were larger than I expected, soft and very absorbent. I like that they are all natural and still have the absorbency needed to get my dishes dry using only one towel.



Tidy Dish Cloths
We can’t promise you’ll enjoy washing dishes but we can promise it will be an earth-friendly experience. 100% organic cotton makes these cloths extra soft and the loops offer added texture for scrubbing.

• 100% organic cotton
  
• Loops provide texture for scrubbing
  
• Absorbent and durable
  
• $5.99 for 2 dish cloths
  

Squeeze Cellulose Cloths
Ever try to reuse a paper towel? Conserve natural resources with these cellulose cloths that can be used again and again. (And again, for good measure).

Materials: cellulose
Set of 3 for $3.99
Colors: sun, sea and scarlet

• Wipe up spills, wash dishes or clean your tables
  
• Works like a paper towel, but lasts for months!
  
• Naturally absorbent and 100% biodegradable
  
• Freshen in the dishwasher or by boiling in water
  

I have been looking for something to replace paper towels to reduce my carbon footprint and save our natural resources. These cloths work like a paper towel but lasts for months! You can freshen in the dishwasher or by boiling in water. These are very thick and have a smooth side and a textured side for all types of cleaning.

By creating products with naturally occurring materials, such as bamboo, cellulose and loofah, they know what will happen when those materials are eventually composted. They will break down into—you guessed it—smaller pieces of bamboo, cellulose and loofah, which will fully biodegrade. Check out the compositing page to see why this is so important to our environment.

Purchase Full Circle products from their online store or find a retailer near you. They have lots of items to choose from including Scrub brushes, cellulose sponges, compost bins and many more items!
