Did you know the little brush we use to clean our pearly whites each day can’t be recycled and ends up in landfill?
In Australia, more than 30 million used toothbrushes are thrown out each year resulting in 1000 tonnes of landfill.
Consider making the change to the Environmental Toothbrush that is made from bamboo and is 100% biodegradable and environmentally sustainable.
The bamboo is cultivated for three years and then harvested and it regenerates naturally without the need of harmful pesticides. The toothbrush is subjected to a carbonisation finishing process that provides water resistance and prevents the growth of microbes (bacteria and moulds) on the bristles.
The Environmental Toothbrush can be disposed of safely by returning it to the earth in compost or landfill. Both the bamboo and bristles will biodegrade into soil, without pollution. Also, at $33 for a dozen toothbrushes, they are a cost-effective alternative to plastic.
The bamboo toothbrush sounds amazing I’m definitely buying a box. Should be introduced at schools as children are very aware of what we are doing to our beautiful planet and even though cleaning their teeth may not always be a priority they are concerned about conservation.
Where do you get it ?
These toothbrushes are fantastic our whole family uses them and knowing that we are doing something great for the environments at the same time is great.
We got ours from their web site http://www.environmentaltoothbrush.com.au
I have heard that they are going to bring out a Medium bristle and a kids toothbrush as well.
looking forward to that.
