Toothbrushes are essential to our oral hygiene. Dentists recommend using them at least twice a day, and replacing them every three months.

As a result, an estimated 3.6 billion plastic toothbrushes are used every year. This huge pile of toothbrushes is not recycled; it ends up in our environment, polluting it.

Why should we avoid plastic toothbrushes?

Unfortunately, plastic toothbrushes end up in landfill or in the ocean, where they remain for centuries before decomposing. Something we have to change every three months should be made of recyclable or compostable material, not plastic.

The good news is that there are eco-friendly toothbrushes you can use instead.

Bamboo toothbrushes are a good alternative

The bamboo toothbrush is one of the most popular alternatives. The sturdy bamboo handle is resistant to mildew, which is handy in a damp environment such as a bathroom. The handle can be composted in a garden compost bin. However, nylon bristles should be recycled in accordance with your local recycling programs.

What makes these eco-friendly toothbrushes so exceptional?

The ergonomic design of these solid bamboo toothbrushes makes them easy to hold in the hand. Their curvature adapts perfectly to your thumb and forefinger.

Ingredients:

Bamboo
The toothbrush is made from pure bamboo: a natural, constantly renewable resource.

BPA-free nylon
The fibers are made from BPA-free nylon. Until now, the only natural alternative to nylon fibers has been pig hair. So we decided to leave the animals alone and opt for nylon 6-6.
