SpongeMail™ redefines kitchen sustainability with a 100% plastic-free, compressed cellulose sponge. Inspired by the tactile joy of a postage stamp, each sponge measures 3mm thick (expanding to 35mm), 100mm long, and 60mm wide, featuring scalloped edges. Crafted by Underdog Kitchen Company, SpongeMail™ combines eco-conscious innovation with delightful aesthetics, transforming a mundane tool into a kitchen showpiece. Its vibrant, biodegradable designs elevate the everyday, while the fading print ensures timely replacements, reducing waste and promoting hygiene.



SpongeMail’s ingenuity lies in its fusion of form and function. The compressed design minimizes shipping emissions, and the cellulose composition decomposes naturally, unlike plastic sponges that pollute oceans. Each sponge is engineered for durability, lasting through rigorous cleaning while maintaining its playful, stamp-like charm. SpongeMail™ offers exclusivity to eco-minded consumers, fostering loyalty through curated, seasonal designs.



Sustainability drives SpongeMail’s ethos. By replacing plastic sponges, it addresses the 400 million tons of annual plastic waste, aligning with global environmental goals. Its production uses renewable materials and ethical sourcing, ensuring a minimal carbon footprint. SpongeMail’s aesthetic appeal of vivid colors and tactile textures creates an emotional connection, making sustainability joyful rather than sacrificial.



SpongeMail's win at the NY Product Design Awards underscores its market resonance. By blending cutting-edge eco-technology with human-centered design, SpongeMail™ sets a new standard for household products, proving that sustainability can be beautiful, functional, and accessible. It invites users to rethink daily rituals, turning dishwashing into a statement of environmental stewardship and design excellence, poised to inspire a global shift toward conscious consumption.
