A 100% biodegradable toothbrush is a rare find! This bamboo toothbrush is made with trimmed horse hair bristles. Horse hair bristles are a perfect alternative to regular nylon bristles, except that they are a little bit harder. The best part is that you won’t swallow any microplastic while brushing your teeth. According to research, we ingest around 5 grams of microplastic each week, including parts of toothbrush bristles that break while toothbrushing. Keep plastic out of your body and switch to plastic-free toothbrush!
 
And of course, the bamboo toothbrush handle works just as well as a plastic one. It is made out of 100% natural and organic bamboo. 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.
 
How to Recycle:
 
- No need to remove toothbrush bristles, they are natural and 100% biodegradable.
- Bamboo handle is 100% biodegradable. Put it 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.
