The bamboo charcoal toothbrush bristles are claimed to contain charcoal reactive ion which adsorbs the dental plaque on the surface of teeth. Ultrafine ends of the bamboo charcoal enhanced bristles can go deep into the various gaps between the teeth for deep cleaning, and have a super adsorption capacity that takes care of gums and protects while brushing.
Made from MOSO Panda friendly bamboo, the bamboo handle will biodegrade in compost or the earth. 30 million plastic toothbrushes that are used and disposed of each year in Australia that can not be recycled! Hard plastics that are not containers such as toys and toothbrushes can not be recycled through standard household recycling programs.
*About the bristles: The bristles are made from Nylon 6 and thus this toothbrush is not 100% plastic free nor 100% biodegradable. For those seeking a completely plastic-free brush, the only option is animal hair bristle. We believe it is not possible to make a bristle from 100% bamboo or other plant oil as there needs to be some form of synthetic binder). Before composting, remove the bristles and place in your bin.
you are making a difference:
- Bamboo is an abundant renewable timber that grows rapidly without the use of pesticides - far preferable than a plastic handle made from non-renewable, polluting petrochemicals.
- Reduce the amount of non-biodegradable plastic entering landfills each year. At the end of its life, the bamboo toothbrush handle will biodegrade into your garden soil or compost without pollution (first remove the bristles and place in bin).
- Environmental Toothbrush is an Australian owned company with a commitment to sustainability.
