About Dental Lace Refillable Floss

I was flossing my teeth after lunch one day when the thought crossed my mind that someone should make a prettier floss container. Fast forward 15 years and that is what I set out to do. I had no background in business; I just started talking to people I trusted and did what came naturally to me as a career librarian... I researched. Along the way, I found out that for every person in the U.S. who flosses their teeth according to ADA recommendations, just the empty floss dispensers alone would fill a landfill the size of a football field six stories high. My mission changed from creating a pretty floss container to embarking on a journey to eliminate plastic dental floss altogether. Today, Dental Lace Refillable Floss is the only fashionable refillable eco-friendly dental floss on the market. Every time we sell one glass container, it replaces seven plastic containers. I'm proud to bring a product to the market that can help us all protect our natural resources. Dental Lace is a refillable dental floss and 99% zero waste product. A glass container with a stainless-steel cap holds floss that is 100% Mulberry silk. The refill bags are certified compostable and the boxes are 100% post-consumer paperboard. The container can be re-used, the bags composted, the boxes recycled and the floss biodegrades. The only waste is the waterproof label on the container, which stays on the reusable container. I am grateful for the support of family and friends, especially my husband Jim.Read their story
