Sponge production involves the cultivation and harvesting of natural sponges, primarily from the ocean. These sponges are marine animals that belong to the phylum Porifera. They are typically found in warm, shallow waters and are harvested by divers or through sustainable farming practices. In addition to natural sponges, synthetic sponges are also produced using materials like polyurethane and cellulose. These sponges are manufactured in various shapes and sizes for household cleaning, personal care, and industrial applications. Both types of sponges are valued for their absorbent properties and versatility.
