What is Grout Brush and Pole made of and can I recycle it?Updated 3 hours ago
TL;DR: The Grout Brush handle is polypropylene (PP), recyclable in some kerbside programs. The bristles are polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), not widely recyclable. Mixed materials mean the whole unit is not accepted everywhere. Reuse for outdoor tasks first, then general waste.
Materials
Handle
Polypropylene (PP). Recyclable in some kerbside programs.
Bristles
Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) bundles. Not widely recyclable.
Pole (optional)
Polypropylene and stainless steel. Mixed materials, check local recycling for metal separation.
End of life
Reuse first
Downgrade an old brush for outdoor tiles, BBQ grates, or garden pots. Getting more use out of it before disposal is the best option.
General waste
If no suitable recycling program accepts the mixed materials, dispose of the worn tool in household rubbish.
Need a replacement?
Grab a fresh Grout Brush when the bristles wear down. Pair with the Grout Brush Pole for standing scrubbing.
