A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

You could try an actual luffa, which is from a squash-like plant.
Where would I go about getting one in the UK? I live in a flat so I dont have a garden to grow one

Everything from that website is plastic free and ethically sourced.
Unfortunate they don't ship to the US

Problem is it arrives with more plastic packaging than a plastic loofah.
Tried to grow them in our greenhouse and failed. (Scotland)
No idea where to buy them, just pointing they're quite hard to grow here.
