The Greener Habits Co,
Bamboo toothbrush Kids, Extra Soft Bristles:
Why Bamboo?
Plastic toothbrushes are an environmental disaster. They are made from plastic which is usually not recyclable, take up to a thousand years to break down, and 80% of the estimated 3.6 million used world world per year end up in the sea where they pose a real threat to marine life and habitats!
The Bamboo toothbrush:
Made with sustainable and biodegradable/compostable Mao bamboo handles and BPA free soft Nylon bristles, these Greener Habits Toothbrushes are the perfect solution to planet polluting plastic brushes. We are estimated to use 300 toothbrushes in our life time, so this switch really will make a big difference!
The Handle:
The handles are made from Mao bamboo- the fastest growing woody plant on the planet. its an Eco-friendly and naturally sustainable material which grows spontaneously without the need for pesticides, and has a fast regrowth cycle, much much faster than wood.
All of the handles are heat treated to carbonise them,. This process gives them a lovely quality finish, but also makes them water-resistant, which helps to prevent the growth of microbes ( bacteria and mold )
All the brushes have a ergonomic shape for the handles, this helps you grip it securely and retain control over you brushing technique. The handles are also a little shorter than most brushes you will be used to, as this means less bamboo is used, and it makes for a super lightweight toothbrush.
The brush head:
The brush head is also slightly smaller, making it far easier to brush right at the back of your molars. Your dentist will thank you. The Bristles are medium strength BPA free Nylon, and come in several different colours, which is helpful if the live in a family or shared accommodation.
The handles on all our brushes are compostable, but the bristles need to be removed before composting, which is very easy to do.
Packaging:
Each toothbrush comes in its own recycled cardboard box which is fully recyclable. There is no single wrapper on the brushes, to save unnecessary waste.
