Zero Waste Outlet Coconut Bottle Brush
Zero Waste Outlet
Coconut Bottle Brush
A plastic-free brush for the tall bottles and vases a sponge cannot reach. The brand estimates about six months of life with heavy use and several years with light use, and suggests moving a worn brush to toilet-cleaning duty. Measure first: the tip is 2.5 inches at its widest, and it does not fit wine or baby bottles.
A 13 inch bottle brush with coconut-fiber bristles on a twisted metal wire, a bamboo handle and a cotton hanging loop. It is long and flexible enough to reach the bottom of reusable water bottles, vases, coffee pots and other tall, narrow containers, without the nylon bristles found on most bottle brushes.

What's inside
The bristles are coconut fiber twisted into metal wire, and the handle is bamboo with a cotton loop for hanging. Zero Waste Outlet says everything except the wire can be composted or buried in the garden. To separate it, untwist the wire, pull out the bristles and cut the wire from the handle with wire cutters, then recycle it with metals. The brand does not state the wire alloy or the handle finish. Coconut bristles shed natural plant fiber as they wear, not plastic.

About Zero Waste Outlet
Zero Waste Outlet is a family-owned shop in Washington state run by Brian and Beth. The idea started with an oversized delivery: a small item buried in a giant box, padded with plastic that did nothing useful. The company now sells its own line of plastic-free kitchen and bathroom basics, like coconut-fiber brushes, bamboo soap dishes and plant-fiber sponges, alongside products from other small brands. Its stated mission is to make zero-waste products available to American households at a reasonable cost, and it ships every order in plastic-free packaging. It does not list third-party certifications, and it says it sources overseas only when an affordable option is not available in the US.
