Bamboo toothbrush works just as well as a plastic toothbrush but it’s made out of 100% natural and organic bamboo. The bristles are made from soft nylon infused with activated charcoal. The bristles are thinner at the top than at the base, which is ideal for sensitive enamel.
 
Bamboo is one of the most sustainable raw materials in the world due to its rapid growth-rate and regeneration abilities. Bamboo releases 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than the same volume of trees.
 
Benefits of Activated Charcoal bristles:
 
Whiter teeth — helps to remove stains by binding to acidic components
Fresher breath — helps to remove plaque
Reduces bacteria — twice less bacteria than on regular toothbrush bristles
 
How to Recycle:
 
- Remove the toothbrush bristles with a pair of pliers or tweezers and throw them into a plastic recycling bin.
- Put bamboo toothbrush handle in the compost. Or use it to help start a bonfire on your next camping trip.
- The packaging is made from kraft paper, simply recycle it.
 
It is recommended to replace a toothbrush every 3-4 months. Regular toothbrushes can’t be recycled, because they are made from different types of plastics. Around 3.5 billion toothbrushes are thrown away each year, adding to other non-recyclable plastic waste in the landfills.
