Find plastic-free food for his pets already a science in itself. And in this sense, the litter scoop of Karli is not the perfect product, since the handle is still made of plastic, but at least is at least the blade of aluminum. We ordered two blades because we have litter boxes at several levels. Unfortunately, the handle of a shovel has separated using his metal substructure in a week. Fortunately we were able to handle but again push and press firmly. Let's see how long it holds. Basically, we could have found better if Karli would offer the product made entirely of metal. But there was probably saved again because plastic is just cheaper ....
The blade itself is doing their duty well. Since there is nothing to complain about. All "solid components" can be easily and conveniently removed from the litter box and do not fall through the slots. Conclusion: Non-plastic-free, but nevertheless an alternative and if one disregards also practical to use the loose grip.
