Switching from the traditional plastic toothbrush to a bamboo toothbrush is one of the easiest things you can do to instantly reduce your plastic waste. In the US alone it is estimated that around one billion toothbrushes end up in landfill every year. That’s a staggering amount of plastic ending up in landfill and polluting the ocean.
Plastic toothbrushes are not biodegradable and can take up to 1000 years to decompose. A bamboo toothbrush on the other, takes only around six months to compost and is not harmful to the environment. Bamboo is a plant with natural antibacterial and antifungal properties and can grow up to 1 meter a day. This makes it highly sustainable and hygienic.
Brushing your teeth should be something that promotes good health, however, regular toothbrushes are made of BPA or PVC based plastic for the handle and bristles, which can leave toxic microparticles of plastic in your mouth.
