Many wooden toothbrushes use nylon bristles. This sustainable wooden toothbrush has 100% plant-based bristles made from castor oil and a German FSC® beechwood handle. The packaging can be recycled or composted.
WHY SWAP
The average person can use around 300 toothbrushes in their lifetime. Conventional toothbrushes are made from plastic materials derived from non-renewable crude oil and rubber, which can take around 400 years to decompose. The non-recyclable packaging is also a mix of plastic and treated cardboard. Every toothbrush ever made that has not been incinerated is still sitting in a landfill somewhere.
