Products are said to biodegrade after two years
November 25, 2024

Everyone’s Earth Founder Thomas Kallish insists all people have a responsibility to honor the health of people and planet. And just as productive days begin with making one’s bed, mindfulness of the earth’s health begins with doing the laundry.
Everyone’s Earth new Cobi 100% cotton dryer sheets are said to biodegrade in two years. The brand name Cobi comes from cotton and an abbreviation of biodegradable
Cotton-Based Technology
Unlike conventional dryer sheets, Cobi sheets are made from 100% cotton and are completely plastic-free. Kallish touts Cobi’s cotton-based technology as “the future of laundry care” and a viable solution to the 50 billion dryer sheets that end up in landfills every year.
“Our society today is choking the planet with too many plastic products, which take an estimated 500-800 years to degrade into microplastics, but remain in all aspects of our environment forever,” he says.
Every product from Everyone’s Earth is made with a process called Elevated Air Injection, a clean manufacturing process using only cotton fiber, water and air. The cotton is sustainably farmed and grown in the U.S.
Kallish is so confident in the technology that in Everyone’s Earth plans for 2025 include expansion into the baby diaper, wipes, feminine hygiene and adult care markets – all made without polypropylene and thermoplastic polymers and manufactured with the same EAI process.
“We want to be the company that plants a flag in this world that says we have a utopian solution,” said Kallish. “We do no harm, leave no trace and we take all the guilt out of a daily decision of people who care.”
Cobi dryer sheets, which come in scented and unscented options, are available at cobidryersheets.com.
