Schaumstoffschwamm
Explanation:
Ich finde, es sollte schon abgegrenzt werden zum Naturschwamm, deshalb kein Agree zu Genevieves Vorschlag.

agree  Erika Grzincic-Baumgart M.A.: Hier ist wahrscheinlich das Gegenteil zum Naturschwamm gemeint, der in der Regel härter ( nicht so weich ) ist wie ein `Kunststoffschwamm´.Ich finde diese Umschreibung daher passend.
