Wanted: Alternative 2 scourers sponges

What have you used or would recommend to replace these scourer sponges? Anything biodegradable and/or plastic etc that is very long lasting. The photographed sponges just end up thrown away as they don’t last; but they do the cleaning job perfectly.
I’ve tried loafer and they are no good as they don’t scrub and can’t reach bottom of cups. Want something that scrubs and also bendy enough to clean right inside cups.
Any ideas, product name, web links to products etc most welcome.

There are several suppliers of coconut matting scourers. Below is one. I have no idea of their overall environmental impact but they are not plastic.

I've tried various things over the years and found the best thing is a brush, wooden with natural bristle. I've tried a couple of cotton & coir pads and found they didn't work well and fell apart pretty quickly. The brush I'm currently using was bought as part of a pack of 3 in early 2019, they last a long time.0
