Sponge diving, the act of retrieving living sponges from the ocean floor, started approximately 300 years ago, but the synthetic sponge was first developed by three nameless engineers of the Du Pont company, the same company who also invented nylon, in the 1942. Du Pont later sold their processing secrets to General Mills in 1952.
